Robberg and Robberg Nature Reserve

#Robberg and Robberg Nature Reserve The Robberg Peninsula, which forms the western shoreline of Plettenberg Bay, is managed as a small nature reserve by Cape Nature Conservation. The northern shore of the Peninsula consists mainly of steep mountainsides and cliffs where a large seal colony resides at the base of the cliffs. The southern side is also rocky, but it is easier to get close to sea level where you also find two pristine sandy beaches.

Robberg features a number of marked trails. There are a couple of shorter trails leading to one of the two beaches or selected viewpoints. If you have at least half-a-day available you should seriously consider doing the 9 km circular route, which goes all the way to the furthest point of the Peninsula. You can return by the same way you went or return along the opposite side of the Peninsula. The pathways on the northern side of Robberg runs near the top of the steep mountainside thus providing a very high and advantageous vantage point for viewing seals, dolphins and whales.

We strongly recommend an outing to Robberg for anyone who is healthy and fit enough to walk for a couple of hours.
