Welcome to
Coffee Bay, this site will help you find information on
where to stay and
what to do in
Coffee Bay.
Coffee bay is
located near the sea. They say
that Coffee Bay's name
came from a ship wrecked
here in 1863 depositing
its cargo of coffee beans on the beach.
Coffee bay is
one of the most popular
holiday resorts on the Wild Coast, with safe and beautiful swimming beaches,
spectacular hikes, excellent fishing and a transient population of families
on holiday, backpackers, campers, tourists and students.
This
is the only other coastal resort apart from Port St Johns that has a tarred
road all the way, making for a pleasant rolling journey from Jojweni or
Viedgesville on the N2. The countryside here is quite different to the
gentle hills to the south – it is more rugged, and with glimpses of the
grandeur of high cliffs. A distinctive feature is the local thatched round
huts, each with a 'topknot' fashioned out of a car-tyre, coloured bottles or
even an aloe plant. This gives each dwelling a rather surprised expression,
but has a strictly practical purpose – it is said to prevent owls (regarded
by the locals as creatures of ill-omen) from roosting on the roofs.
