Brenton on Sea
Brenton-on-Sea on the Garden Route, about 15 kilometres west of Knysna, Brenton-on-Sea Beach extends for approximately three kilometres. This beach has Blue flag status.
The area is somewhat undeveloped because of the endangered Brenton Blue butterfly, which has official protection This is most often observed from the end of October to December
A lagoon is separated from the ocean by cliffs is a safer place to swim than the beach. The cliffs are also a good viewing area from which to observe dolphins and whales. Three different species of whale can be seen from Brenton Beach. These are southern right whales, humpback whales, and also the lesser-known Bryde’s whale, which resides here all year round. The windy conditions are great for paragliding. There are good fishing spots here too. Mainly around Castle Rock or amid the rock pools surrounded by mussel beds. The beach tends to be popular during the season, and the car park gets quite full.
Shells can often be found on this beach, especially after winter storms and low tide. If you plan to collect shells, please follow local regulations and take only empty shells. Shell identification guide
