Knysna Local Municipality

Knysna Local Municipality lies along South Africa’s Indian Ocean coast, where the Knysna Estuary meets the sea through the narrow channel between the Knysna Heads. Part of the Western Cape’s Garden Route, it brings together the lagoon-side town of Knysna, a rugged shoreline, wooded slopes and settlements reaching inland. Indigenous Knysna forests reflect the timber trade that helped shape the town’s early economy and harbour. The annual Knysna Oyster Festival is a prominent event on the local calendar, celebrating the estuary’s long association with oysters.
