About Humewood Beach
As Port Elizabeth’s only Blue Flag Beach (2013), Humewood Beach stands apart for its quality, beauty and safety. It is fabulous for swimming, sun-tanning and even snorkelling, and families with young children can often be found here due to its excellent safety standards and calm, warm waters.
Lifeguards are on duty between November and April, and are willing to assist visitors that require a specialised wheelchair for the beach sand.
Within walking distance is Shark Rock Pier, as well as a number of restaurants, bars, ice cream parlours and take-away joints. There are also freshwater taps and showers for those wanting to freshen up after their day on the beach. The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment Complex is a 10-minute walk or a short drive away.
There is free parking nearby.
