Washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean, Port Elizabeth is one of South Africa&#8217;s unknowns, overshadowed by other cities such as Cape Town and its Table Mountain. However, although it is not a city that receives much tourism, partly because of its not inconsiderable danger, there are a number of interesting sights to see in Port Elizabeth that make it worth a trip to the city. Examples include the Addo Park Elephant Sanctuary and some of the wonderful beaches such as Sardinia Bay.

Port Elizabeth&#8217;s coastline boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the country and here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Humewood Beach:<\/strong> One of the most popular beaches in Port Elizabeth as it is very close to the town centre. It is a Blue Flag urban beach with stretches of wild beach, but close enough to urban areas with all their amenities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sardinia Bay<\/strong>: One of the best beaches in the country and the perfect place for sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving. Just make sure you bring everything you need because there are no kiosks to buy water or food nearby and, above all, be prepared to see a dazzling sunset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kings Beach<\/strong>: Next to Humewood Beach is another urban beach in Port Elizabeth, Kings Beach. With 1.6 km of golden sand and facilities such as parking, toilets and beach bar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"30816\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-port-elizabeth\/attachment\/things-to-do-in-port-elizabeth-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to do in Port Elizabeth\" class=\"wp-image-30816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-do-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cape Recife in Port Elizabeth @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-3-donkin-reserve\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Donkin-Reserve\"><\/span>3 Donkin Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Donkin Reserve is the best place to start a visit to Port Elizabeth and the most romantic spot in the city.

In the park you can find a monument in the form of a stone pyramid with the inscription: \u2018To the memory of one of the most perfect human beings who has given his name to this city\u2019. In Donkin Reserve there is also a beautiful lighthouse which houses a tourist information office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" data-attachment-id=\"30817\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-port-elizabeth\/attachment\/things-to-see-in-port-elizabeth\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C678&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,678\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C678&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=1024%2C678&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to see in Port Elizabeth\" class=\"wp-image-30817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Things-to-see-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Donkin Reserve, a must-see in Port Elizabeth @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-4-route-67\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Route-67\"><\/span>4 Route 67<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Route 67 is one of the most exciting places in the city of Port Elizabeth.

Always striving to raise awareness of the need to conserve South Africa&#8217;s natural and cultural heritage, Bayworld has a variety of activities and exhibitions, as well as research and education programmes on these subjects. Bayworld is one of the best options for what to see and do in Port Elizabeth, especially if you are travelling with children who will enjoy and learn as never before with the animals and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price: R40 (\u00a32.32), students and pensioners R35 (\u00a32.03), children R30 (\u00a31.74)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-what-to-see-around-port-elizabeth\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Port-Elizabeth\"><\/span>What to see around Port Elizabeth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-1-addo-elephant-park\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Addo-Elephant-Park\"><\/span>1 Addo Elephant Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>55 kilometres from the centre of Port Elizabeth is one of the most visited tourist attractions to be seen in the city. It is the Addo Elephant Park, one of South Africa&#8217;s 19 national parks. The park was established in 1931 to care for and protect the only 11 elephants left in the region. Today it is a wonderful sanctuary, which, thanks to the efforts of its workers and supporters, is home to 450 elephants and other animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Addo, the safari experience is different from what you might imagine. Instead of riding the trails in a jeep with a tour guide, at Addo you can visit the reserve at your own pace in your own car, driving along the designated roads and stopping for as long as you like at different points in the park, so you can observe the animals at your leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price: R360 adults (\u20ac21) and R180 children (\u20ac10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"832\" data-attachment-id=\"30818\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-port-elizabeth\/attachment\/what-to-eat-in-port-elizabeth\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C832&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,832\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?fit=1024%2C832&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=1024%2C832&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to eat in Port Elizabeth\" class=\"wp-image-30818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Port-Elizabeth.jpeg?resize=768%2C624&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Addo National Park Elephant Sanctuary @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-2-van-stadens-wildflower-reserve\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"-2-Van-Stadens-Wildflower-Reserve\"><\/span>&nbsp;2 Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many botanical gardens in the world, but the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve is probably unique in the world.

The coolest months are June, July and August, with lows of 8\u00baC to 12\u00baC and highs of 21\u00baC. Summer, from December to March, is dry and hot with minimum temperatures of 17\u00baC and maximums of 26\u00baC.

Although it&#8217;s an international airport, tourist flights tend to be domestic, so it&#8217;s usually necessary to make a stopover in Cape Town or Johannesburg (flights from Cape Town start at \u20ac60 and take 1hr 20min). Another option is to travel overland from another city in the country. South Africa has a good network of trains and buses, but the journey is very long and if you don&#8217;t have a rental car to drive around the country, this option is less advisable. Bus journeys take 11-13 hours and cost around \u20ac30.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Port Elizabeth, located on Algoa Bay, is South Africa&#8217;s fifth largest city.
