Stop at Dolphin Point and gaze far out to sea

Between George and Wilderness, right on the N2, a wide view opens up over the coast, cliffs and the Indian Ocean – Dolphin Point Lookout is an ideal place for a short break with big emotions. From here you can see the golden beach of Wilderness, the mouth of the Kaaimans River and the old railway bridge that the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe once steamed across.

A paved path leads you in just a few steps to various viewpoints. The coast drops steeply away and the view seems endless. With a bit of luck you may see dolphins jumping in the waves, or an African fish eagle circling above the river. In the early morning or late afternoon the light is especially beautiful – perfect for photos or simply for gazing in wonder.

The viewpoint lies directly on the road, so it is ideal as a short stop on your way along the Garden Route. No great effort, but a real change of perspective – from here you can see how big and beautiful the road ahead can still become.
