Jeffreys Bay, often referred to as J-Bay, is a beautiful coastal town located in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. This spot is globally renowned for its world-class surfing conditions, particularly at the legendary Supertubes which is one of the best right-hand point breaks in the world. It is also revered for its breathtaking beaches, overwhelming natural beauty, and thriving local artisan culture.
