EASTERN CAPE
NATUREJeffreys Bay
One of the world's great surf towns
Jeffreys Bay, often shortened to J-Bay, is one of the most famous right-hand surf breaks on the planet and hosts major international events when the conditions align. Even non-surfers come for the beaches, shell shops, laid-back cafés and easy holiday-town atmosphere. It works well as a stop between the Garden Route and Gqeberha.
