This destination perfectly sums up the easygoing and beach-loving characteristics of Port Elizabeth. The beach is a picturesque 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) curve of soft golden sand.

Learn about venomous snakes and other reptiles, including crocodiles and lizards. See exhibits that celebrate South African natural, cultural, and maritime history. Don’t miss the huge skeleton of a southern right whale and the display of Xhosa handicrafts.  Situated in the suburb of Humewood, King’s Beach is less than a 10-minute drive from Port Elizabeth’s city center.
