Kranshoek Viewpoint
Kranshoek
A sea-cliff viewpoint in the Harkerville section of Garden Route National Park, overlooking steep coastline and forest, with loop trails and a waterfall.
Kranshoek lies between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, within the Harkerville forest section of Garden Route National Park. It is reached by leaving the N2 and driving about 10 km on a gravel road. Below the clifftop viewpoint, sea cliffs more than 100 meters high meet crashing waves, and on clear days the Robberg Peninsula can be seen in the distance. The roughly 9 km Kranshoek loop passes through forest, descends to rocky beaches by the sea and climbs back to the cliffs. It takes about 3 to 4 hours and is moderately challenging. A picnic area is available. A small conservation fee is payable.
