(9.2 km (13 minutes) drive from Mount Castleton) It is one of the most recognisable and traversed peninsulas in the world. The beauty of Robberg Nature Reserve is iconic and you absolutely must visit. A World Heritage Site and National Monument, steeped in history, with prehistoric rocks and Stone Age artefacts, Robberg attracts visitors from all over the globe. The picturesque peninsula is home to a wealth of fynbos, flora and ocean life, all of which dazzle the senses. Most notably, the rare blue duiker and a thriving seal colony. As a national monument, it is steeped in history with prehistoric rocks and Stone Age artefacts. Rocks from this region date back 120 million years to the break-up of Gondwanaland and evidence of middle and later Stone Age inhabitation has been found in a few of the caves along the peninsula. Visitors can find out more at the Nelson Bay Cave interpretive centre. Choose to hike the different trails, each with its own degree of difficulty, but all with unique beauty and scenery. This experience is unlike any other coastal encounter. The history of this place and the animal kingdom is otherworldly and once you have been, you are likely to return again and again. The island adjacent to the peninsula is filled with lizards soaking up the sun and below, the waves crash against the rocks propelling rainbows of water spray into the air. The eastern side of the reserve gets the hot sun blazing down upon it, so lots of seals and dassies have made this side their home. On a clear day you are likely to spot the ‘Robberg Express’, a very large great white shark, slowly making its way around the bay. Walk the whole way and you will reach a beautiful sand dune which leads to the western side of the reserve. This is the ‘wild side’ and its beauty is rugged and spectacular. Robberg is rumored to be one of the only places in the world to view great white sharks, from land, in their natural habitat. You may also spot dolphin and whales frolicking nearby. Those just looking for a gentle walkabout can explore the plateau, before heading to the beach. Just past the Gap, you’ll spot the wooden stairway leading to a beautiful secluded beach where you can swim and relax.

If you love the outdoors and sightseeing, then spending a day at Robberg is worth it. Make sure you are fit enough for the hike as it is not an easy walk. Make sure you take sunscreen, a hat and enough water for the hike, as it can get hot unexpectedly. There is a beach at the end of the route, so you might want to take beach ware as well.
