Happy Valley | Buildering | Gqeberha (PE)
There are a few stone traverse walls under the main beach front road. Local climbers have trained here for decades. Its fun, good for a pump & on the beach sand. High tide would be an issue & global warming is washing away the soft landings. Obviously there is swimming after training & maybe a beer or two at the near by beach pubs. The pillars under the road are super for setting up slacklines.
Access
Totally open, on the public beach.
