Ramsgate, KwaZulu-Natal
Ramsgate is a village on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, just southwest of Margate. Ramsgate is located on the mouth of a river known by the Zulu name Bilanhlolo ("the marvellous boiler") for the bubbles caused by strong currents making it look like the water is boiling. In 1922, the only person living there was a romantic character called Paul Buck, a painter and violin maker who called the place Blue Lagoon. The most popular restaurant in Ramsgate is the Waffle House which is located near the Blue Lagoon.
