St George’s Strand

Hidden among fine sandy dunes, St George’s Strand is far enough from the city centre to feel like a peaceful day out. Bring along your best furry friend to visit this beautiful beach from where you can watch the dolphins play. Some dogs just love the freedom of running along a white sandy beach, no lead in sight! If this is an accurate description of your best four-legged friend, then St George’s Strand beach is the one for you. Even though rules regarding dogs on beaches are very strict in Port Elizabeth, This beach is great, as dogs are allowed off-lead. This is Port Elizabeth’s most northern-located beach and its rough waves and poor swimming conditions mean it is not that popular with swimmers and can be quiet. However, this is great for all you doggy parents out there, as you can let your pup run free without worrying about disturbing other beach-lovers. While you can let your dog run free, It is best to leave his harness on in the event you need to restrain him: remember, safety always comes first, and not all the people or dogs you and your pup meet will be dog-friendly. So, grab your sunhat and slops, pack your dog’s water bowl and towel, and take a stroll down to St George’s Strand for a lovely day out.
