Jeffrey's Bay, less than an hour drive from Port Elizabeth towards the Garden Route, its a surfer’s haven on the Sunshine Coast in the Eastern Cape.
J Bay is more than just a surf town, it is welcoming and friendly to
everyone looking to have a great time. Jeffreys Bay was once a port for coasters and received its name from the
nineteenth century trader J.A. Jeffrey.
It is the world’s greatest right hand point break. Nothing can compare.
When a deep south swell meets up with a 10-knot southwest wind and a
medium to low tide, the result is perfection. A pure line of ocean
energy that can be ridden for over a mile.
Jeffreys Bay’s wave season runs from June to August, but good waves can be had as early as April or
as late as September. So don’t forget to bring your board, but
remember that this is South Africa’s winter so pack a good wetsuit
as well.
South Africa’s premier wave is at Supertubes, which for 10 days each July hosts the Surf Pro, a
World Championship Tour event. At this time of the year the waves
are an awesome Hawaiian size one-to-three meters high, placing them
among the top ten swells anywhere on the planet.
Other surf spots in J’Bay include Tubes further down near The Point, Albatross, Boneyards, Magnatubes,
Kitchen Window and Main Beach. Best of all, you don’t need to bring
anything as there are a full range of surfing services from a
surfing school to equipment hire and specialist shops.
Beach Life, If all you want is relaxation then
head for Dolphin Beach, a stretch of sand and surf awarded
international Blue Flag status – an eco-grading given to beaches or
marinas that meet the highest safety and environmental standards.
Here there are always fully equipped lifeguards on duty, making it a
place where the family can spend a glorious day in the sun. JBay has miles and miles of unspoiled beaches, so choose your own little private spot and enjoy.
For those opting for a drier outing there’s activities
like tandem skydiving, sand boarding, whale and
dolphin watching, ocean diving, kiting and quad biking.
For those who want to know more
about the environment there is The Shell Museum, which houses the
largest collection of seashells in South Africa. Conchologists say the beaches here are unbeatable for the variety
and number of seashells. Over 400 types of seashells make this the most abundant natural coastline in South Africa.
