The most striking feature on Port Elizabeth's coastline, besides the harbors, is Shark Rock Pier, the city's only pier.
Located between Hobie Beach and the Red Windmill, right in the heart of Port Elizabeth's beachfront, the pier is a major landmark and a significant attraction.
The pier's construction was actually responsible for the creation of present-day Hobie Beach, as it blocked the northward drift of sand caused by the tides, leading to a buildup of sand. A double win for the city.
