Plettenberg Bay
South Africa
A coastal resort town on South Africa's Garden Route, Plettenberg Bay — known locally as Plett — sits on a bay that Portuguese explorers once called Bahia Formosa, or "Beautiful Bay." The waterfront setting, walkable centre with cafés and restaurants, and scenic surroundings make it a popular stop along the Garden Route, with mountains close by and beaches more accessible here than at nearby Knysna.
