Knysna Attractions

 
Knysna is one of the principal centers on the famous Garden Route along the south coast of South Africa. It is delightfully situated between the forest and the sea on a lagoon which offers scope for a variety of water sports. In 1985 this beautiful region of salt lakes and swamps was declared a National Lake Area, and it is now administered by the National Parks Board. Around the lagoon are numerous holiday houses, hotels and guesthouses. On the seaward side the mouth of the lagoon is flanked by two crags, the Knysna Heads. On the two islands in the lagoon, which are linked with the mainland by bridges, are numbers of handsome holiday homes.
