What To Do In Jeffrey's Bay South Africa


By Koos Swarts

Regulars at the world famous Super Tubes are Kelly Slater and Andy Irons, surfing legends the world over, but, even surfing heroes have to take a break from the water sometime and in Jeffreys Bay they find plenty of exiting activities to keep them occupied.

For the adventurous traveller, Bloukrans Bridge offers the world's highest bungy jump, boasting a breathtaking height of 216m! Access to the jump point in the centre of the bridge is provided via a specially-engineered walkway underneath the road. Bridge walking tours are also available.

Walking or hiking trails along the beachfront or through the indigenous coastal bush are popular even among the locals. Experience the beautiful Eastern Cape at the very beginning of the Garden Route on foot. Trails range from a comfortable 3km to a more challenging 15km - allowing both the novice and the veteran hiker an enjoyable, relaxing experience. This range in distance also means that this activity is suitable for families with young children. Many of the trails boast picnic spots and specially-appointed outlook points with spectacular views.

There is a quaint Shell Museum that provides an affordable outing for the whole family. Jeffrey's Bay is known through out the world for its abundant and diverse array of shells along its coastline and even hosts an annual Shell Festival. The museum displays a huge selection of shell species in tastefully arranged display cabinets. There is also a small Shark Aquarium that will give the visitor a glimpse into the many shark species that inhabit the waters along the coast of Jeffrey's Bay.

If you are looking for the perfect seaside resort with endless prospects of some quality rest & relaxation, where there is no opportunity for boredom, come to Jeffrey's Bay. For an authentic South African environment, whether you are on a surfing holiday, a family trip, or a business appointment, Jeffrey's Bay guarantees a fun, convenient stay.
