A long sandy beach with some amazing dunes and rock pools, spotting a baboon while taking a walk here can very well happen. The beach is an excellent windsurfing spot because the predominant winds blow cross-shore. Platboom also has some good surf. This left-hander can get very good. The fynbos here is magnificent; you can even see the King Protea and birdwatchers will not be disappointed.
