Nestled between Mossel Bay and George, the coastal village of Glentana lies on the Indian Ocean coast within South Africa's Western Cape province.


The harmonious blend of pristine beaches, fynbos covered cliffs, Milkwood trees and rugged outcrops creates a captivating landscape. Glentana Bay, situated in an ancient riverbed, preserves traditions like shell collecting and fishing from the town's early 1900s beginnings of scattered houses, like the old beach house that stood where Marien Beach House stands now (see the history in About).
