Pub & Grill, Seafood, Burgers · Plettenberg Bay · R
The Ski Boat Club sits right on Central Beach in Plettenberg Bay, offering one of the best vantage points to watch the waves roll in while you tuck into unpretentious, satisfying pub fare. It's a proper local spot where families, surfers, and fishermen gather for cold beers, generous burgers, and classic seafood baskets. The atmosphere is wonderfully laid-back — think plastic chairs, sea breeze, and the sound of gulls overhead.
The menu keeps things simple and does it well: line fish when it's fresh, crispy calamari, thick-cut chips, and burgers that don't need fancy descriptions. It's the kind of place where you can rock up in your boardshorts after a beach day and feel right at home. The upstairs deck is perfect for sundowners, with views stretching across the bay to the Tsitsikamma mountains in the distance.
While it's not a fine dining destination, the Ski Boat Club nails what it sets out to do: honest food, cold drinks, and a front-row seat to one of Plett's most beautiful stretches of coastline. Perfect for families, groups, or anyone looking for a no-fuss meal with a view.
