Great pics Mark and Plett looks awesome. Did you get to see what's left of Lookout Beach?

I was in Plett on Tuesday eve and the high tide was washing right up against the bushes at the back of Lookout beach and right into the corner below the Deck. I remember many years ago taking a 20 minute walk to the mouth to go fishing.
