beaches a no no in garden route...what else to do?

[MUGmug]

Seeing that alot of people will be affected by this "ruling". I was thinking since we dont visit the beach all that often anyway when traveling to the Garden route what other great places are there to explore and visit.

So please share great sights and experiences in the garden route area here that dont include "the beach".

I will share a few.....

1. Driving up Montagu pass
2. Ride on the Outeniqua Power Van
3. Eat at Montecello Sedgefield
4. See the views from atop the Sedgefield hill where guys paraglide from(sunset)
5. Visit Sedgefield Farmers market
6. Take a drive to natures valley(stunning)
7. Take a drive Seven passes road.
8. Do a easy hike..plenty to choose. (brownhooded kingfisher trailer wilderness)
9. Walk on the old traintracks from wilderness to george(very scenic)
10. Hire a canoe and paddle kaaimansriver

Please be specific so forumites can easily find the suggestions.

Have a great holiday season
