Over at the I like Port Elizabeth Facebook page we get a constant flow of amazing pics from SA’s Southernmost city. To most, Port Elizabeth is a forgotten city which doesn’t measure up to the likes of local giants like Cape Town and Durban and we think this is unfair. While commonly referred to as the Windy or Friendly City, there’s a lot more to it than a breezy climate and warm smiles.

Port Elizabeth is a montage of fantastic architecture from bygone days
You can make the most of the wind and take to the warm water

Or take a swing at something more terrestrial

All images are from the I Like Port Elizabeth Facebook page where you’ll find more about the people who shared them. Feel free to share your PE pics on the page, who knows, we may even feature them here!
These pics which only come from the last 2 months are proof that there are plenty of reasons to make PE your next local holiday destination!

Hi Michael,
Maybe contact their tourist information board. They might be able to point you in the right direction on who would be able to assist.
