THE AREA

Known as the "Friendly City", Port Elizabeth is located on the south-eastern coast, 763 km east of Cape Town. A superb value-for-money holiday base, Port Elizabeth offers a diverse selection of attractions as a family-fun holiday destination including scenic nature trails, historic heritage, magnificent wildlife, cultural experiences and countless water sports activities.

Algoa Bay's 40 km of breathtaking coastline boasts a perfect combination of warm water, and protected beaches and is complemented by Port Elizabeth's wonderful climate, which has been rated as having the fourth-best weather of any coastal city in the world. Port Elizabeth also supports the most diverse array of vegetation types in South Africa as five of the country's seven terrestrial biogeographic areas are represented in the Eastern Cape.

The Bay, which is a favoured draw-card for beach and watersport enthusiasts is fast becoming known as South Africa's watersport capital and offers activity throughout the year, especially wind-surfing and fishing. In fact, Algoa Bay is regarded as one of the best sailing venues in the world, while scuba diving is of world-class quality with beautiful reefs, shipwrecks, fish and colourful coral species.
