Deserted
“You abandoned me
Love don’t live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don’t live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home”
Love Don’t Live Here Anymore ~ Patti LaBelle

One of the best known landmarks in Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route is the Beacon Isle Hotel. Beacon Island is at the mouth of the Piesang River and has a history that goes back to 1771. In that year the first navigational beacon was erected on the island. The original was a square block of stinkwood, inscribed with the latitude and longitude of Plettenberg Bay, and erected to enable mariners to check their location and chronometers. It also gave Beacon Island its name.
