Offering endless beaches and endless summers, Jeffreys Bay is designed for the ordinary, unhurried, unworried, sun-soaked, beach-bashing person. Holidaymakers first began to flock to this lovely shore after a trading store was set up circa 1894, and was declared a village management board in 1926, graduating to municipal status in 1968. It has since developed and blossomed into the delightful holiday and retirement centre it is today. It now includes Aston Bay, Kabeljous and Paradise Beach and is still a short drive from Port Elizabeth. Stretching from Cape Receife in the east to Cape St Francis further west, Jeffreys Bay lies like a jewel midway between the Gamtoos and Kromme Rivers and the two estuaries of the Kabeljous and Seekoei Rivers. Jeffreys Bay is world renowned for its safe beaches and surfing waves, with many different surf breaks, each possessing its own magic. Surfing spots include Kitchen Window, Tubes, Super Tubes, Point and Albatross

Jeffreys Bay Surfing Jeffreys Bay is world-renowned for its surfing spots Many who take to the breaks consider Jeffreys Bay the world's premier surfing spot. Supers Surfing The waves here can get large (up to 10 - 12 feet). They are very fast, and as the name suggests, getting tubed is the name of the game. The swell usually runs in the winter months. Having surfed Supers when it’s working, you will be stoked for years. Boneyards Boneyards is right next to Supers. You will be able to recognise it with ease, as it is the spot where the waves are breaking almost perfectly, but there are only one or two guys sitting out there. Don't be fooled, this is a locals only break and they take it as a serious offence if an outsider decides to surf there. Yeah, it may have the better wave, but that is the bonus of being a local. Point Point is situated further down the beach, towards Kabeljous. The waves here tend to be a little smaller than those at Boneyards and Supers. The difference is that you will have a much longer ride here than at the other two.
