Brits on flights to South Africa looking for somewhere peaceful and tranquil to visit will find everything they are looking for in Plettenberg Bay's Robberg Marine Protected Area.

Robberg is a peninsula that pokes out of South Africa's Plettenberg Bay, a popular holiday destination for travellers from all over the world.

It is known for offering a serene alternative to the bay's holiday homes and entertainment, with beaches, rocky cliffs and coastal fynbos to enjoy in a relaxing manner.

The peninsula literally gets its name from its native seals – rob is Afrikaans for seals – which, after a period of ruthless hunting, have returned to healthy numbers and can easily be spotted by wildlife enthusiasts.

Robberg is a perfect place to take an adventurous hike or a very wet ride in a kayak.

The latter gives you a unique opportunity to get close to the amazing biodiversity conserved here.

Although commercial fishing is banned, keen fishers can get a special permit from CapeNature, which is responsible for preserving the area, to drop a line into the rich waters.
