The dolphin was discovered by local residents on Kabeljous beach in a healthy condition.
“The dolphin was kept wet on the beach and then loaded onto a sea-rescue craft and transported 3km out to sea,” said National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesperson Craig Lambinon.
“We are confident it will survive — it appeared to swim off strongly,” he added.
“It is unknown what caused the dolphin to beach.”
NSRI Jeffreys Bay, Kouga municipal lifeguards, a marine doctor from Bayworld, a vet from Cape Cross and members of the public assisted in the rescue.
