Knysna Lagoon is a vast expanse of freshwater surrounded by lush forests and green hills. Located on the southern coast of South Africa, in the Western Cape province, between Sedgefield and Plettenberg Bay, it is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity. The lagoon is linked to the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow opening framed by two imposing rock formations known as the Knysna Heads. At sunset, this site, already enchanting during the day, is transformed, offering a privileged setting for admiring the colours of the Golden Hour.
