The spectacular view of the Boardwalk Hotel, with the extra bonus of the fountains in full flight, at night from the pier
It's summer and we have been having some pretty summery weather these last few weeks. The pool at the Boardwalk Hotel looks very inviting right now.

I couldn't find a video on YouTube showing last night's fireworks on the beachfront, but the fountains are just as good if not better. The video is by LimeWave.
Drama Princess watching the Boardwalk Fountain Spectacular from the balcony of the La Vino Wine and Tapas Bar at the Boardwalk. The best seat in the house if you ask me.
Last week I got to attend the launch of the new Le Vino Wine and Tapas Bar at the Boardwalk. Le Vino is in the space where Dulce used to be and has a great upstairs area with a balcony. It's on this balcony we sat watching the sun go down over the Boardwalk lake with a glass of wine and some yummy tapas.
Last week I got to attend the opening of the Le Vino Wine and Tapas Bar at the Boardwalk complex in Port Elizabeth. The restaurant has an upstairs area with a balcony overlooking the Boardwalk lake and it was here we were toasting the end of another beautiful day in the Bay while the sun was going down. The sky was stunning and this is exactly why I always like to have my camera with me.
This is the view standing on the Boardwalk Hotel's pooldeck looking towards Millers and Pollok Beach. The middle rock of the lot is Bird Rock and Hobie Beach is just to the left of the picture. With all the palm trees one who don't know the PE beachfront could easily think it's somewhere tropical. Heck, with some of these hot and humid days we've been having it could just as well be.
Over the last couple of years the Boardwalk Fountain Spectacular has become very popular with both locals and out of town visitors visiting the Boardwalk in the evenings. The fountain times vary between the seasons and at the moment the times are 8 pm, 9 pm and 10 pm daily.
Last night I joined some media friends at the Boardwalk for the opening of the newest restaurant offer in the complex. In recent months the Boardwalk has opened two new restaurants, Coast and Craft, and these are now joined by Le Vino Wine and Tapas Bar. All three of these fall under the Boardwalk's own banner and is managed by the Boardwalk's F&B department. Le Vino itself is located in the old Dulce Cafe premises and offers a great spot…
The Boardwalk Hotel, all lit up and looking like a fairytale castle, with Shark Rock Pier, all lit up, Hobie Beach, all lit up, and the beachfront, all lit up. Isn't the beachfront just beautiful at night?
