The "Friendly City" is Gqeberha, which is 763 km east of Cape Town on the southeast coast. A fantastic value for the money, Gqeberha is a family-friendly vacation spot with a wide range of attractions, such as beautiful nature trails, historical landmarks, amazing wildlife, cultural events, and an endless array of water sports. The 40 km of stunning coastline that makes up Algoa Bay features the ideal mix of protected beaches and warm water, and Gqeberha's fantastic climate, which has been named the fourth-best weather of any coastal city in the world, completes the picture. Because the Eastern Cape contains five of South Africa's seven terrestrial biogeographic zones, the Gqeberha region also harbours the most varied variety of vegetation types in the nation.
