Jeffreys Bay — Laid Back Leisure

Jeffreys Bay

Jeffreys Bay

The town of Jeffrey’s Bay, loc­ated just South of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape, is undoubtedly South Africa’s surf­ing cap­ital. Stories about the form­a­tion of the town abound, many claim­ing it was found by a ship­wrecked cap­tain. Some say the town was foun­ded by surfers, but the real story is that a cer­tain Captain Jeffrey, while sail­ing his cargo ship along the coast in the mid 1800’s, decided that the place was the ideal loc­a­tion for a hol­i­day home.

He did just that in 1850, and for years — liv­ing along­side the local people – he was the only colo­nial res­id­ent. More res­id­ents did move in though, and the local hotel, a land­mark, was built in its ori­ginal form, from tim­ber and cor­rug­ated iron, around this time. The ori­ginal hotel was demol­ished and rebuilt in 1968, and still exists as such today. Continued

Surfing in Cape Town

Surfing the Waves

Surfing the Waves

With around forty-nine estab­lished surf spots all within an hour’s drive and the choice of the Indian and Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is some­what of a haven for surfers from around the world. Cape Town has a very act­ive surf­ing com­munity and the vari­ety of surf­spots means that every­body can be accomodated.

If you’re look­ing for a beginner’s wave, one of the best beaches to start off is Muizenberg beach. Muizenberg offers gentle waves, but they are fun and just keep on com­ing all day long. Not really the right kind of beach if you’re look­ing to carve your name or ride bar­rels. But if you’re into the soul­ride of long­board­ing then Muizenberg is pure magic. This is the beach to take someone who has never surfed before. It’s eas­ily access­ible and there are boards avail­able to rent on the beach. Continued
