The beach of Winklespruit.
Geography: Winklespruit forms part of Kingsburgh with Doonside, Warner Beach, Illovo Beach and Karridene.
History: The origin of the town's name is not quite clear. Some say the town derives its name from the shop set up by the people who salvaged goods from a the wreck of the schooner, Tonga, which sank here in 1875. Others say the name is derived from 'periwinkle', a type of mollusk found along this stretch of coastline.
