Fodor's Expert Review Heads

You can't come to Knysna without making a trip out to the Heads, at the mouth of the lagoon. The rock sentinels provide great views of both the sea and the lagoon. Only the developed, eastern side is accessible by car, via George Rex Drive off the N2. You have two options: park at the base of the Head and follow the walking trails that snake around the rocky cliffs just feet above the crashing surf, or drive to the summit with panoramic views and easy parking.
