About

A sandy stretch along Nelson Mandela Bay's Summerstrand beachfront, backed by rocky outcrops including the well-known Roadhouse Rock, part of a busy promenade lined with restaurants and hotels. Surfers use it for competitions such as the SA Open, while joggers and lifeguard patrols share the shoreline. Local news coverage and social posts show dogs are a regular sight here, walked along the sand during morning outings, subject to the municipality's beach dog-control rules.
