Discover The Plaat: Nature’s Hidden Gem Just 5 Minutes from Calamari

If you’re staying at Calamari Self-Catering in De Kelders, you’re in for more than just a comfy place to sleep; you’re also just five minutes away from one of the Overberg’s best natural spots: The Plaat.

Right along the Walker Bay coast, The Plaat is a quiet beach with soft white sand, clear blue water, and rocky cliffs. It’s part of the Walker Bay Nature Reserve and is the perfect place for a peaceful walk, some whale watching (when they’re around), fishing, or even a swim in one of the calm rock pools.

The best part? It’s super close. Just a 5-minute drive or a relaxing walk from Calamari Self-Catering and you’re there. Whether you want a morning walk, a sunset picnic, or just some quiet time by the sea, The Plaat is waiting for you.

So grab your towel, take your camera, and enjoy everything this beautiful beach has to offer during your stay in De Kelders.
