Kings Beach Egyptian Goose

Egyptian Geese are generally very territorial so once a pair finds a home they will very much stick around. This means that young birds have to find their own "unused water holes" which isn't always that freely available. I know of some that even made a dogless backyard with a swimming pool their home. It was great to … Continue reading Kings Beach Egyptian Goose →

Happy Fathers Day

I had a Sunday lunch of note today and I am seriously stuffed. What's the special occasion? Its Fathers Day of cause and I got thoroughly spoiled today. I was looking for a father themed picture to post and decided on this one I snapped at the new Kings Beach skate park the other day … Continue reading Happy Fathers Day →

Denville’s

The little beach on the south side of the McArthur Swimming pool complex is generally part of Kings Beach, but amongst the local surfing community its known as Denville's. The name came from a couple of guys, Dennis Buchman and Neville Mandy, that used to surf here around the 60's. Its still a favourite surfing spot, … Continue reading Denville’s →

Kings Beach silhouettes

Winter may be coming but for the past four days summer's been gracing us with her presence. From the look of it she's also planning to hang around for the weekend. Hey, I'm not complaining.

Jellyfish at Fence

The surf spot at Kings Beach next to the harbour wall is called fence. Apparently years ago when there wasn't as much sand against the wall the place used to cook as a surf spot. Today its but a shadow of its former self. So where does the name come from? There was a big fence … Continue reading Jellyfish at Fence →

Kings Beach Panorama

I've been looking at old posts and dates and realised its been just over four years since I took over Port Elizabeth Daily Photo from Sue and Max. WOW, I can't believe that I've been at it for four years already. I also noticed that in a couple of weeks PEDP is coming up to 2000 … Continue reading Kings Beach Panorama →

Kings Beach development

I went for a walk around the new Kings Beach development with the Damselfly and just realised again how the beachfront has been enhanced. And its not even finished yet. I can't wait to see the new additions they're still working on. Plus what is yet to come.

Harbour wall

Many years ago people could fish off and walk on the Port Elizabeth Harbour wall, but this changed with the upgrading of security protocol at harbours a numer of years ago. Big Huge Humongous was my surprise when I went for a walk on Kings Beach all the way to the harbour wall for the first time … Continue reading Harbour wall →

Nippers

On Saturday while having a walk along Kings Beach we found that there was a regional Nippers competition on the go. Nippers are young Surf Lifesavers between 5 and 14 years old. Unlike senior Surf Lifesavers, the majority of them do not patrol the beaches but focus on fun and surf awareness.Nippers learn about safety at … Continue reading Nippers →

Back to the beach

After a couple of wet months (as I've said before, 2012 has been the wettest non flood year on record) it finally seems that summer is starting to slowly muscle its way into our lives. Although its not totally in the door yet, the days are starting to warm up very nicely and people are … Continue reading Back to the beach →
