Plettenberg Bay Aerodrome is a compact airport located just north of the town, catering mainly to private aircraft, charter flights, and flight training. It is not a major tourist destination, but aviation enthusiasts may appreciate its role in connecting the Garden Route. The facility includes a single runway and a small terminal building. Visitors might see light aircraft coming and go, and the airfield offers a unique vantage point for plane spotting against the backdrop of the Tsitsikamma Mountains.
