Port Elizabeth is a charming city on South Africa’s south-eastern coast and is fringed by the Indian Ocean. The city has strong links to Britain, having been established by English settlers in 1820. Their architectural stamp is seen throughout the city. However, it is now very much part of the new South Africa and growing as a holiday destination. Along with the adjoining towns of Uitenhage and Despatch, it is known as Nelson Mandela Bay, named after the country's most famous politician.
As a family holiday destination, Port Elizabeth has many attractions and activities for children. While most children are more than happy to spend most of their time on the city’s safe and lively beaches, there are places you can take them when you all need a break from the sun.
