Bitou Central Beach Plettenbergbay

Lovely beach with really decent currents and excellent life guards on duty . Always so clean which is lovely and there’s a police box with someone by the parking lot if anything happens they always so close! Really great to bring the kids to swim and play if your not on the beach or near it’s a definite best beach in town !!

Great beach to relax and swim . It's calm and clean not too busy . Just good vibes and a nice day out . Facilities are close by like ablutions and a few shops and restaurants . Ocean boat rides depart directly from the beach and launched via tractor , this was really cool to watch .as it operates like a mini sea airport with boats being pushed out to sea and retrieved back from sea by the green tractor .

An area with 5 blue flag beaches this one has the most activities , boats in and out with tours , restaurants, snack bars, lagoon , life guard station, and very busy. Patrolled by security and hectically busy on public holidays. Beautiful setting .

Beautiful bars, restaurants, ice cream stores and so much along the beach. Stunning view of the ocean and water is nice and cold on a hot sunny day!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

South Africa is a beautiful country blessed with many natural resources from the oceans, the mountains, the wildlife parks, rivers, and....beautiful soft sand beaches. Central is one of them. It is centrally located in Plettenberg, a 3 minute walk from nice apartments, it's on the Indian ocean side of South Africa so the water is not as cold as in Capetown, on most days the waves are gentle, which encourages swimming, the water is nice and clean with no discernable sewage Britons will like this lol, the beach is vast and long, bookended by a hotel, a bay, and a mountain.Depending on the time of year, it won't be packed. In the evenings you will be treated to a light show courtesy of the ships moored in the bay, and in the morning you will witness the sun rising over the ocean, which is spectacular. I'd recommend this to families preferably not in December when most South Africans stream to the beaches. For everyone else knock yourselves out. There are also tour groups a shells throw away who offer ocean excursions to go swimming with whales.

Spotlessly clean, beautiful beach, law enforcement and lifeguards on top of everything. Great swimming as wellVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
