With its white-topped waves and sun-drenched skies, Jeffreys Bay has become famous the world over not only as South Africa's ultimate surfing destination, but also as one of the most scenic spots on the glorious Sunshine Coast. This coastal village annually plays host to legions of tourists, surfers and sun seekers who descend on the town in search of the perfect wave and lasting memories.
Stretching from Cape Receife in the east to Cape St Francis further west, Jeffreys Bay lies like a jewel midway between the Gamtoos and Kromme Rivers and the two estuaries of the Kabeljous and Seekoei Rivers.
Jeffreys Bay is world renowned for its safe beaches and surfing waves, with many different surf breaks, each possessing its own magic. Surfing spots include Kitchen Window, Tubes, Super Tubes, Point and Albatross. These beaches also have an abundance of shells, and are known for good angling. Fishing in Jeffreys produces Kob, Leerfish (Garrick), Grunter, white Steenbras, Blackmail, Musselcracker, Baardman, red Steenbras, Poenskop, Roman, Dageraad, elf, sharks and rays.
People with a real interest in nature will enjoy the three nature reserves. Although small in size, they offer peace and tranquillity and hiking trails. At Seekoei Nature Reserve you will find the Penguin Rehabilitation Centre, some smaller mammals and about 120 bird species. Kabeljous Nature Reserve offers good waterfowl watching and Noorsekloof Nature Reserve boasts a 3 km trail up the kloof along a stream.
