Geography

St Georges Strand is one of Port Elizabeth's northernmost suburbs, bounded by Coega to the north, Wells Estate to the west and Bluewater Bay to the south.

Beach

The beach at St Georges Strand is Port Elizabeth's northernmost beach. Swimming at the beach is not advised due to violent waters and waves. This is the reason why the beach is not very often frequented by locals or is known very well in the Port Elizabeth area. However lifeguards are on duty during the peak/summer holiday season.

Roads

St Georges Strand can be accessed by turning off the N2 highway onto King George's Avenue. King George’s Avenue continues north-westwards as the R335 to Motherwell, Wells Estate, Markman and Addo.
