East London
East London, on the Eastern Cape coast where the Buffalo River meets the sea, is the only SA city built round a river harbour. The N2 links you to Gqeberha and onward to Durban, while the N6 heads inland to Bloemfontein via Stutterheim. Locals nip through to Stutterheim or Adelaide, while out-of-towners tackle the long haul to Bloem or up the coast to Salt Rock. King Phalo Airport is a handy 6 km from town, and about four fast EV chargers are dotted around for the road-trippers.
