GREAT BRAK RIVER
Great Brak River is situated in the Garden Route between Mossel Bay and George along a prestine coastline. The beautiful unspoilt beaches and the stillness of the Great Brak River offer safe swimming conditions and true tranquility. The rivers are rich in marine life and this is a perfect area for bird watching. Sweeping panoramic views complement the outstanding characteristics of this quaint village. Great Brak River is called such because of the brackish water of the Brak Rivers – the lagoon mouth is divided into two sandy channels with a small island between them. A single lane bridge links the mainland and the island which is well know for its timber holiday homes. This charming, little island has become a refuge for many seeking solitude and has a number of holiday cottages and homes. Things to do in the area include the Great Brak River Museum, whale watching from May to November each year, a circular route, outlining history and culture exists through the town. Sporting activities in the Great Brak include tennis, squash, bowls and cycling. You can practice your golf at Dolphins Creek Golf Estate and at De Kaap Driving Range. The village of Great Brak dates back to 1859, the year in which a toll-bridge was built over the river.
