Family Fun

Mini-Golf & Skate Park
Jeffreys Bay has a small but lively skate park and mini-golf course where kids and teens can burn off energy. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon, especially if the surf is too rough for younger swimmers. Ask at the Jeffreys Bay Tourism office for updated hours and venues.

Kids’ Surf Schools
Several local surf schools offer safe, beginner-friendly lessons for children. With soft boards, wetsuits, and trained instructors, kids can experience the thrill of riding their first wave while parents cheer from the beach. Popular options include:

Whale Watching (Seasonal)

From June to November, southern right whales migrate along the Eastern Cape coastline. They can often be spotted breaching or tail-slapping just offshore from Jeffreys Bay’s beaches, especially near Point and Kabeljous. For closer encounters, boat-based whale-watching trips run from St Francis Bay.
