Van Stadensriviermond is a coastal resort in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, situated approximately 15 km east of the mouth of the Gamtoos River and 10 km south of Van Stadens Berg west of Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth).
Afrikaans for ‘Van Staden’s river mouth’, Van Stadensriviermond takes its name from its location.
Van Stadensriviermond falls within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality.
The Van Stadens River and the mountain are said to have been named after Marthinus van Staden, who owned a loan-farm there about 1744.
