In South Africa, The Garden Route region runs along a scenic stretch of coastline that starts in Cape Town and ends in Port Elizabeth, a coastal city on the south east coast of South Africa. This beautiful region has become the most popular destination in South Africa after Cape Town. The well forested narrow coastal plain is bordered by extensive lagoons running behind the superb white beaches. Highlights of the Garden Route include the Wilderness coastal stretch, the whale watchers paradise of Hermanus, Knysna's lagoon and forest-based activities, as well as Plettenberg Bay, a location that combines some of South Africa's best swimming beaches with beautiful forest and indigenous vegetation. Near Plettenberg Bay is the unspoilt Tsitsikamma National Park, where dense indigenous forests are punctuated by streams and tumbling waterfalls flowing towards the coast. The Garden Route Mediterranean Maritime climate is ideal for watersports and outdoor activities, including whale watching.
