Sacramento trail to Sardinia Bay

Looking down from the start of the Sacramento Trail in Schoenmakerskop towards Sardinia Bay (the sand dunes in the distance) about 4 kilometers away. The 8km round trip is probably Port Elizabeth’s best known and most popular hiking trail.

Marine Drive on the Wildside

Marine Drive along the Port Elizabeth beachfront and the Wildside all the way out to Schoenmakerskop probably has some of the best scenery in PE. Sea views, a rugged coastline, gullies to enjoy with kids, fishing spots, coastal fynbos, shipwrecks, whales and dolphins, hiking trails, nature reserves, picnic spots, camp sites, tons of photo opportunities and so much more.

Tidal pool overflow

Everybody loves a waterfall. Imagine my surprise when I spotted this unusual waterfall at Willows Resort on Saturday afternoon. It’s the overflow out of the tidal pool at high(ish) tide.

Willows view

Miggie was invited to a party at Willows this afternoon and when we went to pick her up I took a walk up to the corner next to the top of their water worm. A beautiful on a stunning Saturday afternoon. Actually very sorry that we’re not camping there this weekend because the weather was perfect.

Noordhoek Skiboat Club

Last night I got to go to a function at the Noordhoek Skiboat Club for the first time. It’s hidden away on the coastline just below Marine Drive on the Wildside and consist of a nice big bar / restaurant space and an outside undercover braai area, all overlooking the coastline. Actually a very nice spot for a party with a stunning view of the ocean up to the Cape Recife lighthouse in the distance.
