Discover the Wonders Around Jeffreys Bay

Welcome to Jeffreys Bay — your laid-back coastal hub on the Eastern Cape. Famous for its legendary surf, endless golden beaches and warm local spirit, J-Bay is more than just a seaside stopover. It’s the perfect springboard to explore one of South Africa’s most diverse and exciting regions.

Head inland and you’ll reach the wide-open bushveld of Addo Elephant National Park, where herds of elephants roam and the Big Five still walk free. Follow the coastline west and the scenery sharpens into the craggy cliffs and deep forests of Storms River and Tsitsikamma, a playground for hikers, zip-liners and kayakers. Between these two icons you’ll find a string of small towns, valleys and hidden beaches — each with its own character, from the citrus orchards of the Gamtoos Valley to the fishing boats of St Francis Bay.

Basing yourself in Jeffreys Bay means you can dip into all of it at your own pace: a morning surf and beach breakfast, an afternoon game drive, or a day chasing waterfalls and forest trails. Whether you’re here for the adventure, the wildlife, the food, or just the sunshine, this stretch of the Eastern Cape is the kind of place where holidays turn into stories.
