Jeffreys Bay, South Africa is legendary: It is simply one of the best right-hand point breaks in the world. Jeffreys Bay offers up some of the finest surf on the planet and “Dolphin House” is directly in front of it.
But J-Bay is more than just surf. There are a variety of unique things to do and see in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The town of Jeffreys is friendly and world famous for the abundant seashells that wash up on the beach with each high tide. Visitors can expect to see migrating whales, dolphins playing in the surf, and hundreds of water bird species. Add great seafood, pristine beaches and nearby river lagoons perfect for angling and paddling, and you have a destination that has something for everyone.
Forty minutes away you can visit Cape St. Francis, home of Bruce’s Beauties. When the swell is right, Bruce’s is one of the best right-handers you will ever surf. Cape St. Francis is a wonderful little town known for clean beaches and whitewashed, thatched houses.
The Eastern Cape is home to some great game reserves all within a two-hour drive. Addo Elephant Park is home to over 300 elephants. Both Shamwari and Lalibella offer five star accommodation and Big 5 game viewing in private Land Rovers. For those who want to experience the Kruger National Park, LuxurySurf works with Ulusaba Private Game Reserve (owned by Sir Richard Branson.) We have stayed here and it was one of our most unforgettable experiences in Africa, and we are happy to assist our guests with booking their own personal safari.
Capetown is a six-hour drive, and is a truly dynamic waterfront city that compares with Sydney, Vancouver, and San Francisco. The vineyards that surround Capetown offer charm, great accommodation and dining.
Although surfing might be your primary reason for visiting Jefferys Bay, there are many other wonderful experiences that await you. The “Dolphin House” is the perfect home base for your South African adventure.
