Potchefstroom Travel Guide
South Africa
Potchefstroom is an inland South African city with a population of 123,669. It sits in the country's interior rather than on the coast, so it is not a beach destination.
Travellers arriving by air can use Potchefstroom Airport (PCF). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so coastal excursions require travelling beyond the city's immediate area.
