Great place to visit when in Port Elizabeth. The view is stunning. A great bit of history that you will appreciate which is portrayed through art.

At the heart of old town Port Elizabeth, a monument that speaks of love for almost 200 years. A landmark of Port Elizabeth and its history.

An amazing experience having the privilege of climbing up to the top of this lighthouse. Views of the city are breathtaking. Climb up and down is a bit nervy as it is a narrow vertical staircase on multi levels but well worth it. Sadly the great SA flag was not on when we visited. Also a mention for the individuals that keep the area and park clean, not a piece of litter was found.

It's quite a narrow journey going up but totally worth it once you get to the top and view Gqberha from that point. The place is also packed with mosaics and sculptures that are accompanied by some historical facts.

Beautiful lighthouse. Not too many steps, although quite steep. Beautiful view from the top of surrounding areas. Be sure to crawl through metal door at the top to see the beautiful view from outside.
