Campanile Drive-By
While on your journey, you'll have the opportunity to pass by the magnificent Campanile. This imposing structure marks the gateway to the railway station and docks on Strand Street. Impossible to overlook, the Campanile is a living testament to the region's rich history.
Erected to commemorate the arrival of the 1820 British Settlers in Port Elizabeth, who landed at Strand Street, the Campanile is a striking example of Italian architecture. Its free-standing design adds to its grandeur and leaves an indelible mark on the landscape.
Pass By: Sundays River Valley, Sundays River Valley, Greater Addo, Eastern Cape
As we continue our journey, you'll catch a glimpse of the remarkable Alexandria Dune Field, a true marvel of South Africa's natural wonders. This vast coastal dune field is the largest and least disturbed in the southern hemisphere, offering an unparalleled experience.
Stretching over 80 kilometres in length and up to 5 kilometres in width, covering an impressive surface area of about 15,800 hectares, it's a dynamic system where sand is continuously reshaped by the wind, creating an ever-changing landscape. The Alexandria Dune Field offers a unique sense of solitude, boundless horizons, and spatial freedom, making it South Africa's prime example of a pristine coastal dune field.
With approximately 375,000 cubic tons of sand being deposited into the dune fields each year, it's a mesmerizing and perpetually evolving natural spectacle that should not be missed.
