Brenton-on-Sea

Perched high up overlooking the crescent curve of Buffalo Bay, Brenton-on-Sea boasts exquisite views and a seemingly never ending beach. Whether you feel like sunbathing, swimming, hiking or just staring out across the big blue – a visit to Brenton is a must. Just 12km west of Knysna this quaint seaside village is a popular holiday destination and during the summer months its shoreline is humming with sun- and surf-seeking revellers. It is named after Sir Jahleel Brenton, the esteemed officer of the British Royal Navy who declared Knysna a harbour in 1818.
