Activities in Jeffreys Bay

Explore the Great Outdoors

Surfing is a must. Jeffreys Bay waves are world-famous, so if you ever wanted to be a member of the board, this is it. 'Super Tubes' arguably rates as the most famous of the breaks, but respect the pecking order if you’re a grom. Dirt Biking is essential for those who love ‘dirty surfing’.
