Lookout Beach
A long beach at the northern end of Plettenberg Bay, where the lagoon of two rivers meets the sea; popular for surfing, dolphin watching and sunrise.
Lookout Beach lies northeast of central Plettenberg Bay, where the lagoon formed by the Keurbooms and Piesang rivers meets the sea. The sand stretches north to join the long Keurbooms beach. The waves are consistent, making it a good spot for learning to surf and bodyboarding. Dolphins often play in the waves, and whales can be seen in winter and spring. Due to coastal erosion in recent years, the shape of the beach has changed considerably. The lagoon side has calm waters that suit children. Lifeguards are on duty in peak season. Entry is free, and there are restaurants nearby.
