Indian Ocean
Lake
👍👍 Knysna estuary opens through the Heads to our Indian Ocean.. so many beautiful beaches up and down the coast...soothing green landscape along the coast with various scenic routes to walk, drive, run or cycle. Warmer water than the Atlantic but still quite fresh most year round.

Lake
👍 Myself and my family go swimming in the swartvlei as there arent so many people during the silly season. The water is always clean and not too cold. My son takes his fishing rod and practises his cast in- no fish caught as of yet. But we will return to do some more fishing. The bird life is amazing...

Lake
😠 I went to Sandvlei with colleagues for our Team Building at the day visit area, the place is boring as hell. You have to park outside of the area where you are gathering and walk your way in.
