Wondering
what to do?
Have you just arrived in Port Elizabeth and don’t know what there is to discover? Or maybe you have lived here for quite some time and still haven’t taken the time out to explore what there is to do.
Jeffreys Bay
Only 45min from Port Elizabeth
Jeffreys Bay is world renowned for its sea shells. Shells can be found
all along the beaches in town but seem more predominant in certain areas.
The best places to look are along the section of beaches that are
covered by rock like the Surfers Point area.
Most shells wash up during neap tides, but one can find shells just
about all year round.
Its easy to put together a shell collection. The huge variety of shells means that you can collect
whatever shells catch your eye. The ever popular cowry shell can be found
in abundance by shell collectors on our beaches and a wide variety makes
for exciting collecting. Check
out the tide table and put some sun block on your face and start
collecting!
Exploring J’Bay on mountain bikes is a novel way of getting
around town. One can either
rent bikes and check out the area by yourself or book a trip.
There are some exciting places to visit. The waterfall, just outside of town is a classic trip.
Cycling through the natural vegetation called fynbos
puts one in the mood for a swim in the inviting waterfall pool.
There is a waterslide as well as a cliff jump for the more
adventurous.
For the adrenaline junkies, a cycle through a game farm is a must.
Here one will see the feared rhino in its natural habitat as well
as other game. Only guided
tours are available.
Learning to surf is a must for visitors and locals alike.
Main Beach is a perfect beach for beginners of all ages to ride
waves. It is a safe swimming
and surfing beach as there are no major currents and the entire beach is
covered with sand. One even
has a good chance to see dolphins riding the same waves as you.
The Jeffreys Bay Info Office is a good place to start. All relevant information about the town is available. The Info Office is in Da Gama Road, between Boneyards and the Billabong Shop.
