King’s Beach in Port Elizabeth is one of only a few beaches in the country to be awarded with the prestigious Blue Flag status. Bring your dogs along to experience this safe, clean, and environmentally friendly beach. What is a Blue Flag beach? These are beaches that are managed to high international standards of cleanliness, safety, and top-class facilities. King’s Beach, also known colloquially as Port Elizabeth’s golden mile, is popular with families, surfers, and everyone who loves a bit of fun in the sun. Described as one of PE’s best beaches, King’s Beach is a great place to take your dogs for a walk, and is only 3 kilometres from the centre of PE. Remember to pack their leads though, as dogs have to be leashed, and stay on the designated grassy areas. PE has strict rules in place regarding dogs on public leashes. Because King’s Beach is a Blue Flag beach, it is important to respect the environment and not allow your dog to interfere with the birds, animals, or plants.
