    Definitely stop at Pearl view for a coffee!

    Definitely stop at Pearl view for a coffee! Going back up from the view points back towards the parking lot may strain those who have difficulty in walking.... If that is the case looking at the view from this restaurant is just as good!

    View from the Heads well presented area to take amazing photos. Pop down to beach area to enjoy lovely cafe restaurant but beware parking limited and it gets very busy for breakfast and lunch. Closes late afternoon.

    You need a car to get up to the lookout area but the views are stunning. Failing that, take a boat trip from Knysna waterfront to the Heads and see it from sea level. Stunning either way, especially on a sunny day.
