Although Plett is a small town, the nightlife is fairly lively, yet laidback. Choices are somewhat limited. In summer most action takes place on or near the beach, beginning with sundowners in typical South African style at one of the lovely beach bars, but there are a few fun pubs and clubs for later evening entertainment with pool tables, live music and dancing. Travellers should note that Plett is one of a handful of South African coastal towns that draw massive crowds of school graduates at the end of the academic year (late November and early December), meaning that during this time the town is crowded and the nightlife is extremely frisky.
