Hartenbos Lagoon is where the Hartenbos River meets the sea in this Garden Route holiday town near Mossel Bay, a calmer stretch of water that's popular with families for safer swimming away from the open surf. The wider Hartenbos beachfront fills up over the December school holidays. Dogs are generally welcome on the beach on a leash, though during the December-January peak season access is limited to early morning and evening hours.
Note from SitnStay: Dogs must be leashed at all times; during 1 December-31 January they are only allowed on the beach 5-8am and 6-8pm, per Mossel Bay municipal rules cited by local guides.
