Wilderness Village The village is a charming place to visit and there are numerous shops, bars and restaurants. Milkwood Village arts and crafts is open on Sundays when local artists sell their artwork, there are also live local performances.
Beaches along the Garden Route The 3 best swimming beaches in the area all have life guards and are top surf spots. Leentjies Klip beach is 5 minutes walk from the village and there are BBQ facilities. Victoria Bay 7km from Wilderness and is in my opinion the best beach in South Africa. Herolds Bay offers a great day at the beach, some of South Africa’s top golfers have property on the beach front.
Hiking There are about 7 short hiking trails in the wilderness area only and range from between 1 and 5 hours walk. Long hiking trails are up to 5 days and you need to take your own food with you.
