Bay of tranquillity.

With summer fast approaching in the Southern hemisphere, the coastline of the Garden Route will soon be inundated with South Africans revelling in the annual festive season break.

Without a doubt the safest and most spectacular beach in the Garden Route has to the five kilometers between Brenton on Sea and Buffalo Bay. Offering safe wave swimming, three sets of breaks and a gentle dune it is perfect for body boarding, surfing, kite boarding, surf skiing and paragliding. In essence, it is the perfect family and adventurers beach breakaway that delivers beyond Blue Flag beach status.

For travellers seeking a tranquil outing, walking is easy and the local dolphins swim past daily.

Best of all are the two restaurants to savour a coffee or satisfy an appetite that make the detour from the arterial route well worthwhile.
