Beach Hotels & Resorts in Port Elizabeth from AU$254

The best area to stay in Port Elizabeth for beaches is the Belmont and Friendship Bay area, just south of the main town.


This part of Bequia offers direct access to some of the island's most beautiful stretches of sand. Friendship Bay, in particular, is known for its calm, clear waters and is a popular spot for sunbathing and swimming. The area is generally more spread out than the town centre, with properties often located among lush greenery, providing a tranquil setting.


Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area ideal. You can enjoy quiet strolls along the shore, swim in the gentle waves, and many accommodations offer direct beach access or stunning sea views. It's great for unwinding away from the busier spots.


For families, Friendship Bay provides a suitable environment for children to play in the sand and swim in the shallow waters.

The best area for beach activities in Port Elizabeth is Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay, both located on the west coast of Bequia.


Princess Margaret Beach is a very picturesque crescent of white sand, easily accessible by a scenic coastal path from Port Elizabeth's main harbour. It's known for its calm, clear turquoise waters, making it great for swimming and paddleboarding. There's also a popular beach bar where you can enjoy refreshments.


Lower Bay is just a short walk further south from Princess Margaret Beach. It offers a longer stretch of sand, ideal for leisurely strolls and sunbathing. The waters here are also excellent for swimming and snorkelling directly from the shore. You'll find a few local places offering snacks and drinks.


Both beaches are excellent for couples looking for relaxing days by the sea.
