Jeffreys Bay is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Eastern Cape. Jeffreys Bay came into existence with the purpose of being a harbour and trade post. It was established by J.A. Jeffrey, a whale hunter from St Helena in 1849.
The Coastal Delight
South Africa’s surfing capital Jeffreys Bay (‘J-Bay’, as the locals call it) on the Eastern Coast does not need an introduction. After all, Super Tubes and Bruce’s Beauties have attained legendary status in salt-water circles spanning the globe. Visit the Jeffreys Bay Surf Museum to learn about the early surfing days.
Sun-seekers from all around the planet come to search for rays and waves on the sun-drenched beaches here on the balmy Indian Ocean. Do not expect any architectural delights in the town, but rather venture into Da Gama Road’s little shops and delis in search of good seafood and branded surf-wear bargains.
Day-trip into the Kabeljous, Noorsekloof, and Gamtoosmond Nature Reserves; revel in the mild climate, wear your sunglasses inside; listen to the Beach Boys and just unwind. Fun outdoor Jeffreys Bay activities include sandboarding, hydrobiking, fishing, paddle skiing, kite surfing, diving and hiking.
