Hotels in Port Elizabeth Port Elizabeth goes by a number of different names, being affectionately known by some as the 'Friendly City', the 'Windy City', or simply as 'PE'. When it comes to tourist attractions, the beaches will generally feature at the top of most itineraries - particularly Humewood Beach. However, the Bayworld complex is especially popular and features its very own Oceanarium. Port Elizabeth is also gateway to the world renowned Garden Route and has plentiful game viewing opportunities nearby (please see our Game Lodges in the Eastern Cape for more information).
