Surfers Paradise Jefferys Bay
#beachvacation
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.

Idyllic Beach
#dolpin Beach
This is Jeffreys Bay's main beach, and it's idyllic indeed.
Stretches of sandy white beach sand, surrounded by turquoise ocean waters.
Palm trees and lots of green lawns, compliments this idyllic beach.
The Shell Museum and Curios, an ideal place to find that perfect memento.
