Summerstrand
Get ready for a vacation of fun fun fun! The upmarket Port Elizabeth suburb of Summerstrand guarantees you plenty of leisure and pleasure during your next vacation. Appropriately named, Summerstrand is one of Port Elizabeth’s finest enclaves and boasts a very central location as it is near to a number of convenient amenities namely the airport, the CBD, the Summerstrand Shopping Centre, and of course a number of scintillating beaches. The beaches are enough of a reason for holidaymakers to stay in Summerstrand – the waters are warm, the sunshine received here absolutely glorious, and the atmosphere laidback and tranquil. The popular beaches of Hobie – the scene of the annual ‘Splash Festival’ - and Pollock are two of the shores in close proximity and both are terrific for a number of fantastic water sports such as wind surfing, yachts, hobie-cats, and many more.
Those that love the Great Outdoors should head over to the picturesque Donkin Heritage Trail - a 5km route that winds its way through the CBD while passing by some of Port Elizabeth’s finest historical monuments and landmarks. Summerstrand, though, is just as lively and fun-filled when the weather isn’t playing that nice – even if those days are very rare here! The Boardwalk Casino Complex is not just for the gamers amongst you – it offers many entertainment options for every age and preference. The man-made lakes and gardens give the complex a distinctly festive ambience; the shopping experience is top-notch, while the gamers can have as much fun as they want with 20 gaming tables and 700 slot machines. If you want to get the kids excited while also educating them, the oceanarium is in the immediate vicinity of Summerstrand while the suburb also has easy access to the fabulous Humewood Links Golf Course.
