Overview

Noncom is a beach spot located on the south coast of Port Elizabeth, east of Sardinia Bay. The name comes from the former Non-Commissioned Officers camp that was here. The beach faces south and offers wave conditions on mixed sand/reef bottom. It is a regular spot for the PE kite community, accessible and well-windowed thanks to the position in Algoa Bay.
