imaginative could fathom and mussel-clad rocky points where the rocks are known as bricks. This is Jeffrey’s Bay!We holidayed here once, so many years ago that it hurts trying to remember when. My best memory of J’Bay, as it is affectionately known, was a steak house, up on the 1st
floor of a

complex somewhere in the CBD, that had 1kg steaks at give-away prices. Man, what a feast! My mouth starts watering just thinking about it. How I wish that place was still there. There’s nothing wrong with the bird life around here either. I’m talking about the feathered variety. This one is in a farmstal

On one trip en-route to the magical K’Buku in the Langkloof, this town even got to see the other side of me.

Speaking of rare sights, this one not as rare though, I cycled down to the beach and back twice, (not on the same day) after doing some running repairs and adjustments on Mark’s

See – same beach, different colour bike! No illusions, no trick photography – twice!
Getting back to the beaches, which is arguably what Jeffrey’s Bay is all about, I can’t think of a better depiction of Jeffrey’s

Jeffrey's Bay's Best
Besides lazing in the sun or using the beach to get to the water for a surf, there is one

Around the

Supertubes area, there are plenty of friendly dogs to entertain you while you take a stroll.
And around the Kabeljous River Mouth area you can walk for days.

That’s not a speck on your screen, it’s a ball in the sky being thrown for the dogs.

That’s not a speck on your screen either, it’s a helicopter in the sky.
That’s not a smudge on your screen, that’s a stingray.

So when you have a perfect day in J’Bay, get out there and make the most of it. It’s awesome.
