The municipality (or I think it was the municipality) recently erected new lifeguard huts on the city's main beaches. On last weekend's Instawalk in the Kings Beach area I snapped this pic on a cloudy and gloomy morning showing the lifeguard huts ready and waiting for summer and the influx of holiday makers visiting the city during December and January.
I found this piece of graffiti at the Kings Beach Skate Park last weekend. The first thing that I noticed was that it was done with what looked like pastels and not paint. Interesting. The main thing though is the message and even though this one is aimed at skateboarders, I think its an universal one. DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. A motto I have decided I want to implement more in my own life. Life is short and…
I wonder how many people still go and explore rock pools at low tide. We used to spend school holidays with my grandparents in Paradise Beach near Jeffreys Bay and the beach was our playing field. At low tide you would find us in the rock pools searching, exploring and discovering. Kinda makes me feel guilty for not taking the KidZ to the beach more often. The rock pools in the picture is just on the Humewood Beach side of McArthur…
I'm quite active on social media but only started dabbling in Instagram recently after getting rid of my Blackberry. On Sunday morning I joined my first official Instawalk. An Instawalk (or Instameet) is a gathering of Instagrammers who meet somewhere and spend an hour or two taking photos together. South African Tourism brought two of South Africa's biggest Instagrammers, @garethpon and @alessiolr, down to PE for the Donkin Downhill Dash and they had an Instawalk from the Kings Beach skate park before…
Last Saturday I organised an Amazing Race around Port Elizabeth as a fundraiser for the KidZ' school. One of the stops during the day was at Kings Beach Park. While checking up on a couple of stops before the teams arrived I popped by Kings Beach Park and chatted to the teacher manning the point. Chaos Boy took the opportunity to try out the new Tuctuc feature at the play park.

The retaining wall all the beachfront walkway between McArthurs Pool and Humewood Beach have had a complete renovation and makeover after it was found to have some structural problems that have developed over time. The work was finally completed a couple of weeks ago and the walkway is now fully accessible once again.
Every Sunday the walkway next to Marine Drive at Kings Beach get turned into the Kings Beach Fleamarket. The market is a mixture of hand made goods, African craft and curious and fong kong sunglasses, bags, wallets and clothing. The perfect spot for a Sunday morning walk and a bit of shopping.
The whole Kings Beach development has added more than just a lake to the beachfront landscape. It also includes a number of features like this sun chair on the walkway. Great to utilise if you want to snap a couple of pics of your loved ones.

It shows a couple of local skateboarders doing their thing at the skate park at Kings Beach.
