Also known as J-Bay and the town is famous for surfing, white sand beaches and an abundance of sea shells. The town became popular with surfers after the 1966 movie Endless Summer.

The Jeffreys Bay region is renowned for its gorgeous beaches, never ending summers, plentiful shells and is best known as “the Surf Mecca of the World”. The beautiful beaches are safe for bathing and provide endless excitement for water sports. Not far from Jeffreys Bay lies the charming town of Street Francis Bay. It is known for its endemic white houses with either black tile or thatch roofs blending together with the Sardinian-style red tile roofs. Approximately half of the town is built around the largest web of manmade canals and waterways in Africa. Adjacent to Street Francis Bay is the pastoral fishing village of Cape Street Francis with its outstanding beach and historic Seal Point Lighthouse while Port Street Francis is the harbour. Visit Oyster Bay, a town that caters for those who enjoy quiet time and relaxation. Explore this neighborhood with its beautiful beaches, rich wildlife and adventures - surf the waves or swim with dolphins and there is something for everyone in this picturesque and breathtaking Jeffreys Bay area.

2 kilometers east of JBay is Marina Martinique, a development on 5km of man-made saltwater canals. 2½ kilometers north, is the beautiful valley of Kabeljousriver with its waterfall. These are good places to stay if you like a bit more peace and quiet than lodging in town can offer. Aston Bay borders on Marina Martinique and if you cross the causeway over the lagoon of the Seekoi River, you come to Paradise Beach.

Paradise Beach is relatively undeveloped with 6 kilometers of unspoiled beach all the way to the Kromm River which separates it from Street Francis. It is not recommended to swim across the river.

Ocean temperatures are around 23°C in summer.

Stay Safe

Robberies of tourists and less careful local residents are becoming more frequent. Be careful when walking alone on the beach, or while walking in town at night. Do not leave valuables visible in your car.

Be careful when travelling along the road between Jeffreys Bay and Aston Bay at night, as pedestrians do cross without warning between the small informal settlements on both sides of this road. Also watch out for stray animals on the road.

  • At the closest airport, get directions and information from marked information counters
  • Stay alert and keep an eye on your valuables and luggage at all times
  • Use only registered and qualified tour guides. Contact tourism offices for a list of qualified tour guides
