A short but very varied stretch with fantastic views of the Knysna lagoon and the Indian Ocean. Especially at low and high tide, the currents in and out of the bay are very impressive and easy to observe.
Tip: Afterwards you should visit Coney Glen Beach Knysna, which can be seen from the viewing platform and can be reached within 5 minutes by car. You can park here directly.

Not to be missed if you are travelling along the Garden Route. Knysna is a must-stop.

Stunning viewpoint over the Knysna Estuary. Don't forget your binoculars to admire the life on the water's surface. You can always spot otters and seals here.
