Robberg Nature Reserve

Description

The Robberg Peninsula is a nature reserve and national monument in the pristine coastal resort of South Africa’s famous Garden Route, just 8km south of Plettenberg Bay. Visitors can walk numerous trails in this reserve, watch dolphins, seals, and whales along the paths, and enjoy other picturesque views.

Robberg Nature Reserve has a wide variety of flora and fauna. Visitors have a choice of 3 walking trails on the Robberg Peninsula. The most adventurous and difficult one is a spectacular round trip via the Point which takes around 4 hours. This route is not recommended for young children, people with health conditions, and older visitors. For those less adventurous visitors, the other two walking options are equally as scenic, and well worthwhile.

The waters within the Robberg Marine Reserve are strictly managed. Boating, fishing, bait-collecting and spear-fishing are all prohibited here. Only rock and surf angling are allowed inside the marine reserve with permits available from Marine and Coastal Management via the post office.

Visitors can experience rainfall between the months of August and November. Please note there is a speed limit of 20km and hour in the reserve.
