Jeffrey's Bay

　　Jeffrey's Bay is a port city in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, approximately one hour’s drive southwest of Port Elizabeth. The city is named after Jeffrey, the first person to settle here.

　　Jeffrey's Bay is a growing city that was once a sleepy little fishing village for many years but has rapidly developed into a town and is now moving toward becoming a metropolitan area. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was a famous gathering place for hippies and the birthplace of the surfing community. With its excellent beaches, water sports such as sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and skimboarding are popular pastimes among locals, making it a paradise for surfers.
