The Heads - Knysna, South Africa
This live webcam looks out over the famous Knysna Heads, located along South Africa’s scenic Garden Route in the Western Cape. The camera captures the dramatic entrance to the Knysna Lagoon where the Indian Ocean flows between two towering sandstone cliffs.
The Heads form a narrow channel connecting the calm waters of the lagoon with the open ocean. Strong currents and shifting tides make this one of the most visually striking coastal spots in the region, with waves crashing against the rocky shoreline below.
Surrounding the viewpoint are lush green hills and rugged coastal terrain, creating a stunning contrast between land and sea. The area is popular for sightseeing, boat trips, and photography, with ever-changing conditions depending on tides and weather.
Did You Know? The channel between the Knysna Heads is only about 230 meters wide and has historically been considered one of the most dangerous harbor entrances in the world due to strong currents and submerged rocks.
