Skoenmakerskop is a small village in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, located south-west of the promontory on which Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth) stands, 8 km west of Chelsea Point.
Skoenmakerskop village falls within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality.
Skoenmakerskop is Afrikaans for ‘shoemaker’s hill’. The village, the hill, and the Skoenmakersrivier nearby are all said to have been named after Volcker Schoemaker, a soldier who deserted and settled in the Eastern Province.
