A bit of history
Jeffreys Bay is located along the coast of the Eastern Cape.
Originally a quiet fishing village, it began to grow in the mid-1900s as visitors discovered its incredible surf conditions.
The town gained international recognition thanks to its world-famous surf break, Supertubes — known for producing some of the longest, fastest right-hand waves on the planet.
Today, Jeffreys Bay is one of the world’s top surfing destinations, attracting wave riders and beach lovers from across the globe.
