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.[2]: 331 In 1922, there was only one person living there, Paul Buck, a painter and violin maker and he called the place Blue Lagoon.[2]: 332
