4. Mossel Bay: Surfing with dolphins<\/h2> \t\t

Mossel Bay is located between Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town and offers both relaxed waves for beginners (Inner Pool) and stronger sections (Outer Pool) for those looking for a bit more challenge. There's a good chance you'll share the waves with some curious dolphins. The town itself isn't very special, but it does have a nice bay with plenty of seafood restaurants. You can surf here and then enjoy fresh fish at a small local spot by the harbor.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

5. Plettenberg Bay: Surfing and relaxing on the beach<\/h2> \t\t

Plettenberg Bay, or just \"Plett\" as the locals call it, is a great spot along the Garden Route where you can easily mix surfing with relaxing. Central Beach is perfect for beginners to practice, and for those with a bit more experience, Lookout Beach and the waves at Robberg are more fun and challenging. In the waters around Plettenberg, there are plenty of seals, so they'll probably keep their distance from you!<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
