Lower Bay
A village beach south of Princess Margaret Beach, with beach restaurants and bars. A good spot to swim, snorkel and then eat grilled fish while watching the sunset.
Lower Bay is a long sandy beach beside a small fishing village, with more local character than Princess Margaret Beach. Several beach restaurants and bars line the sand, where you can rent loungers and eat grilled fish and lobster. It is lively around sunset. The rocky reefs at both ends of the bay are good for snorkelling. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from Port Elizabeth, or you can walk along the shore from Princess Margaret Beach (easier at low tide).
