Glentana

Glentana is a small coastal village located in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It lies along the Garden Route, approximately 20 kilometers west of Mossel Bay.

Glentana is primarily a residential area, known for its beaches, relatively mild climate, and relaxed atmosphere. The area is popular with tourists, particularly during the summer months.

Historically, the area was sparsely populated and primarily used for agriculture and grazing. The development of Glentana as a residential and tourist destination began in the latter half of the 20th century.

The local economy relies on tourism, construction, and services catering to residents. While there are some small shops and businesses, most residents travel to nearby Mossel Bay for more extensive shopping and commercial services.
