Geocaching is fun with most caches hidden somewhere fairly easily eccessible. For a while now I've been eyeing Bird Rock on the beachfront thinking it could be a great site for an "extreme" terrain 5 cache and the other day I took a swim out there with fellow cachers Seekoei and erenei to place one … Continue reading Bird Rock on the PE beachfront

Enjoying Kini Bay
The gully on the beach at Kini Bay is fast becoming a favorite with my family. It's safe, not too crowded and a great spot to teach the kids how to snorkel.
Top of Maitland Dune
I often wonder how many Port Elizabeth folk have never climbed up the Maitland dune at least once in their life. Can't be many but if you haven't, this is the view you would not have seen.
Maitland Beach

Hobie Beach and Boardwalk panorama
I took this panorama of Hobie Beach with the Boardwalk Hotel and Conference Centre in the background from the Jester the other day. Cruising on the Jester does give one a whole new angle to look at the Port Elizabeth beachfront from and you just realise again how beautiful our beachfront is.

The rest of my group walked by without even a glance while I … Continue reading Death on the beach
Save our rhino in the sand
Rhino poaching is a serious issue in South Africa and the more awareness that is created the better. Playing his part in this is the sand sculptor at Hobie Beach. Passing by the other morning I spotted his sand rhino and had to snap a picture.
Bluewater Bay Beach
Bluewater Bay Beach stretching away towards the Coega Harbour hidden somewhere in the haze on the horizon. I made a quick stop to snap a picture or two while on my way elsewhere but have to make a plan to return some time soon for a walk along the beach. The beach is great for … Continue reading Bluewater Bay Beach
