๐‡๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ ๐–๐ž๐ž๐ค๐ž๐ง๐: Glentana ๐ŸŒŠ

If your ideal weekend feels calm, scenic, and beautifully unhurried, Glentana is the kind of coastal stop that makes slowing down feel easy.

Walk the beach and enjoy the wide coastal views, visit the famous wreck, take photos along the shoreline and lookout points, and make time for a seaside meal or coffee at Meet at Sea. If the weather allows, stay a little longer for that golden hour atmosphere. Glentana is less about busy plans and more about ocean views, slower moments, and the kind of seaside calm people keep coming back for.

Some places offer more than one kind of beauty, and this part of Route 12 is exactly that.

Glentana brings dramatic coastal views, wide beaches, and the well known wreck that gives this stretch of shoreline its character. Then Groot Brak adds a different kind of charm, with quieter inland scenery, river beauty, and the historic architecture that gives the village its timeless feel. Together, they create a route that feels both scenic and full of character.

This beauty is a Southern Right Whale ๐Ÿ‹

Spotted on Friday, 22 May at Great Brak!

What an incredible sighting so close to land! Southern Right whales are one of the most ICONIC visitors to our coastline during whale season, often gliding slowly through the shallows, tail flukes lifting gently as they move through the warm waters of the Garden Route.

Have you spotted any whales recently? Share your photos and sightings in the comments, weโ€™d love to see them ๐Ÿ“ธ

If your ideal weekend looks like river views, village charm, and a day that feels easy to enjoy, Groot Brak is well worth the outing.

Take the 4.8 km walk around the Brak, explore the lagoon, quiet beach areas, and wide river views, and enjoy the art, cycling, hiking, and slower local atmosphere that gives the area its character. For something a little different, hop on the Groot Brak Ferry and enjoy the village from another perspective. Groot Brak is the kind of place that turns a simple day out into something memorable.
