The beach is calling
I don't think it matters if its summer or winter, living in Port Elizabeth means that the beach is always calling. You don't have to go swim to go to the beach, just go for a walk or lets the kids run free a little.

Since its revamp the pier is looking great at night, especially with the new brighter lighting. It's actually so bright that it is possible to swim at night, like the little boy is doing.

Boardwalk Hotel view to Millers
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.

Shark Rock Pier from the north – plus a question for followers
Yesterday I posted a photo of Shark Rock Pier all lit up since it's revamp as seen from Hobie Beach. I thought I'll follow it up with a photo from the other side. I think I prefer this one of the two. Perhaps it's just the angle that is tighter or the fact that there are rocks on this side. Which ever, I like it.I have a question for you today and you can either give me your opinion as a…
