Plettenberg Bay Climate
Plettenberg Bay is famous as one of the most beautiful resort areas in South Africa,enjoying one of the world's mildest and most temperate climates in winter and summer, with over 300 sunshine days a year. It also boasts warm sea temperatures and less wind than many other coastal resorts.
Flanked on three sides by the magnificent Tsitsikamma mountains and the Indian Ocean to the East we are surrounded by lush indigenous forests.
The peninsula of Robberg extends some 4 km eastwards into the sea and acts as our natural barrier against the prevailing winds. Just a few kilometers away the rainfall doubles, providing perfect conditions for the wide variety of indigenous flora and fauna found there.
