Knysna Estuary Light Beacon

Highlight • Monument

This lighthouse is a landmark in the estuary. It's the ideal location for watching the sunset. The picnic benches in the garden near the lighthouse invite you to relax.

Knysna is beautifully located. Here on the coast you can enjoy a wonderful sea view, but also look back to the mountains. Unforgettable was also the night in the B & B in the city almost "over" the bay.
