Hobie & Kings Beach
Blue-flag sand right in the city. Perfect for a slow morning swim before the day's celebration.
While you're here
Make a holiday of it
Gqeberha in December is beaches, bush and long evenings. If you're travelling this far, these are the places we'd point you to between the two celebrations.
Addo Elephant National Park
About an hour's drive. A half-day self-drive can easily give you elephants, zebra and warthog.
Boardwalk & Something Good
Beachfront dining, a casino and easy sundowners looking over Algoa Bay.
Route 67 & Donkin Reserve
Sixty-seven public artworks climbing through the old town, celebrating Mandela's 67 years of service.
Bayworld & Cape Recife
Great for guests travelling with children — museum, tidal pools and a lighthouse walk.
Sunday markets
Try the Boardwalk or Baakens Valley markets for local craft, coffee and biltong to take home.
