Ela Beach, Public beach in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
The one-kilometer stretch of white sand beach extends along the coast of Port Moresby, offering views of the surrounding sea and islands.
Originally named Era Kone, meaning Turtle Beach in the Motuan dialect, this location served as a launching point for ancient trade voyages.
The beach grounds host the annual Hiri Moale Festival, where the Motu-Koita people celebrate their traditional trading practices through performances and ceremonies.
Recreational facilities include basketball courts, beach volleyball areas, a boardwalk, an amphitheater, and two food service kiosks along the beachfront.
From the elevated position on the hill above the beach, visitors can observe multiple small islands scattered across the Coral Sea.
