PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS & VIDEO - Plettenberg Bay residents and visitors staged a peaceful protest in the coastal town on Sunday to highlight their plight to see the town’s beaches reopened following the ban that was introduced last week.

They also highlighted the “devastating” economic effects of the closure for a town reliant on tourism, especially over the festive season.

Residents and visitors lined the street from Odlands towards the Beacon Isle Spar dressed in the beach attire along with cooler boxes, umbrellas, surfboards and other beach gear between 10:00 and 11:00.

Watch a video below.
