Workation in Port Elizabeth: the essentials
Officially Gqeberha since 2021, though many still say Port Elizabeth or just PE, this Algoa Bay city is the largest in the Eastern Cape and a major seaport with a long car-manufacturing history. British settlers landed here in 1820, and both nicknames, the Friendly City and the Windy City, are earned. Beaches run along Summerstrand, Nelson Mandela University brings students, and Addo Elephant National Park is close enough for a day trip. The airport is only about 3 km from the centre. Daily life is plain and unpretentious and the wind is a constant. The metro has also had serious water shortages and patchy municipal services in recent years.
