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.^{[citation needed]} 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.^{[citation needed]} The most popular restaurant in Ramsgate is the Waffle House which is located near the Blue Lagoon.[1]
