Top 4 Garden Route Beach Towns | South African Adventures Pt. 6 | Exploring the WESTERN CAPE Coast
This is it, last days in South Africa! This week, we continue down the Garden Route for some exploring in Plettenberg Bay, some shopping and seafood at the Knysna Oyster Festival, visiting our cousins BEAUTIFUL new home in George, and wrapping things up in Stillbaai and Jongensfontein.
Plettenberg Bay has a special place in Mommy’s heart because that’s where they would “go to town “ when in Nature’s Valley. We walked around, spoke to a local REALTOR® there about property, had lunch (and a few drinks ????) at a spot with a gorgeous view, and then made our way down to the Global Village—a cute little spot on the edge of town with all sorts of crafts and handmade products. The also had one heck of a jungle gym there for the kids to play on.
Next, we stopped in Knysna for the Annual Oyster Festival and we always love going to Knysna! We shopped for a bit in the Knysna Central Market, got coffee at the outdoor mall there, let the kiddies play around in Pirate’s Cove, and then made our way down to the waterfront. We must say, the Knysna Waterfront was a real highlight (knysnawaterfront.com). We hit some golf balls onto a floating green in the middle of the harbor, had an AMAZING lunch at the Dry Dock Restaurant, and captured some pretty epic aerial shots with the drone! Highly recommend Knysna, we could have spent another full day there at least.
After that, we drove to George and visited with our cousins who have a gorgeous, brand new home right on the cliffs just outside George. Right when we got there, we saw a big whale out in the ocean playing. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time there, but it is a very beautiful area and the best part was being there to celebrate with our family on their next big step!
Lastly, we spent the night in Stillbaai, which is a famous beach for its beauty and its surfing. In the morning, we woke up and had one of the best breakfasts of the trip, got yelled at by a lady for flying our drone on “her” beach, and then made our way over to Jongensfontein for some tidepooling and some adventures on the beach, before we jumped back in the car to head back to Cape Town to head for home! The Garden Route and pretty much everywhere we went in the Western Cape was crazy awesome! If you get a chance to go to South Africa, don’t just hang around Cape Town the whole time—go check out the Garden Route up to Storm’s River Bridge, you won’t be disappointed! Having amazing adventures and spending quality time with the ones you love. That’s definitely #WhyWeWork.

we spent a morning sailing over the knysna lagoon to the nature reserve. Here we were taken in a trailer pulled by a tractor up through the reserve with full narration from the guide about the flora and fauna. We then had a good walk back down stopping at several viewing points along the way. The sea caves and views across the lagoon back to knysna among them.
We then made our way to the restaurant where a lovely buffet lunch was waiting.

The Garden Route is a popular and scenic stretch of the south-eastern coast of South Africa. It stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River which is crossed along the N2 coastal highway over the Paul Sauer Bridge in the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern Cape. The name comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation encountered here and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the coast. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley; with George, the Garden Route's largest city and main administrative centre.

Knysna (South-Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Knysna in South-Africa.
Two impressive sandstone cliffs known as The Heads flank the magnificent lagoon of Knysna on the South African coast close to the Indian Ocean. The Knysna Lagoon is not only popular with tourists as the combination of both salt and freshwater from the Outeniqua Mountains also attracts many endangered species of fish. The lagoon is home to the rare Knysna Seahorse that is otherwise known as the Hipocampus Capensis. Moving inland from the estuary and the two Heads the water becomes increasingly calm. Indeed it is difficult to believe that only a few kilometres away lies one of the most treacherous and feared coastlines in the world. But beyond the lagoon's rocks and boulders all is peaceful and idyllic, a place where ornithologists can observe a large variety of birdlife. Due to its magnificent location close to forests, mountains and ocean in addition to its increasing number of leisure facilities, Knysna is one of South Africa's most popular Garden Route destinations.
