Fodor's Expert Review Leisure Isle

In the middle of Knysna Lagoon, Leisure Isle has just a few tiny strands of beach. It does have great views out toward the Heads of Knysna and nature trails and wheelchair-accessible boardwalks where you can spot emerald cuckoos and black oystercatchers. Green Hole on the east shore is a public park with toilets, showers, picnic spots. The surrounding mudflats of the lagoon provide bait for the local fisherfolk. Amenities: parking. Best for: solitude; windsurfing; small nature reserve.
