Schoenmakers Kop

Another beautiful sunny day in Port Elizabeth.   We decided to swim at Schoenmakers Kop and then meet the family for brunch at the Sacramento restaurant overlooking the beach.   The beauty started even before we got to the parking area.

Perhaps we spent too long admiring the view

before going down to the beach which seemed to be not sand but shells and pebbles.

The water was lovely and I could actually swim rather then just jump in the waves.

Time ran out too soon and we had to dress and meet the family.

After a very nice (and indulgent) brunch we mad our way back to the beach exploring the rocks.   I was fascinated by their formation.   They looked so much like driftwood.

I think they should be marketed as “The Driftwood Rocks” and made into a tourist attraction – something like “The Pancake Rocks “ in New Zealand.

In among the rocks were rockpools with fish and marine life.

Altogether a quiet place of great beauty and I’d love to visit again.
