Nature's Valley
A small village and long beach between the Tsitsikamma forest and the Groot River lagoon, the end point of the Otter Trail, quiet and little developed.
Nature's Valley is a small village at the western end of the Tsitsikamma section of Garden Route National Park. It is surrounded by indigenous forest. The Groot River forms a lagoon here before flowing into the sea, and the beach stretches about 3 km with very few people. Visitors can canoe and swim in the lagoon or walk coastal trails such as the Salt River Mouth route. The famous five-day Otter Trail also ends here. The drive from Plettenberg Bay via the R102 Groot River Pass is about 30 km and has many bends. The village has only one small shop-cum-restaurant.
