The sand dunes at Colchester outside Port Elizabeth are the western reaches of the Alexandria dune field, the largest coastal dune field in the Southern Hemisphere. Although it is there for anybody to see, the only way to really get to them is by boat as you have to cross the Sundays River to get there. The Sundays River Ferry is one of my favorite attractions in Port Elizabeth and thanks to the ferry I have had the opportunity to visit the dunes before. The climb to the top is a steep one but the view makes it worth it.
