About

Brenton-on-Sea is great for walking and sunbathing and is popular with paragliders. A big rock formation, castle Rock, is a favourite fishing spot for locals. Swimming is dangerous because of rip currents.

Good seaside town

We drove to Brenton on Sea from Knysna, about a 20 min drive. Drive was scenic and nice. We didn't really go in the water. We had lunch there at Butterfly Blue restaurant which was lovely. The restaurant had views of the ocean. Very relaxing.

Stunningly beautiful seaside town.

Breathtaking beach, safe paddling and swimming on an almost deserted beach. Cliff top walks, cafe nearby. Probably very busy in the season.
