Port Elizabeth & St Francis are the gateway to the Eastern Cape and offer sandy beaches, cultural tours & great links golf courses.
Port Elizabeth is the gateway to the Eastern Cape. It's commonly known as PE, but also recently renamed as Gqeberha - sorry that name is not easy to pronounce. It offer sandy beaches, cultural tours of the city & two top-flight links golf courses at Humewood and St Francis.
Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha has a range of very pleasant boutique hotels for an overnight stay. If you have time, we recommend a boat cruise for whales and dolphins sightings in season. Or perhaps enjoy a round of golf at Humewood?
The attractive coastal resort towns of St Francis Bay and Jeffreys Bay are both are only 45-60 minutes west of Port Elizabeth, on the way to the Garden Route. These make a great place to break the journey.
The village is of picturesque white-washed thatched cottages right on the beach. There's a network of canals throughout the little town. Here you may enjoy swimming, surfing, beach walks and perhaps a round of golf at the top-ranked St Francis Links course.
Nearby Jeffrey’s Bay is famous for its majestic waves. Many surfers regard them as some of the finest in the world.
