Introduction

Situated on the South African Wild Coast, Coffee Bay is a small town with a nice chilled-out atmosphere. With no grocery shops, banks or ATMs, make sure you come here stocked up on supplies.

With stunning cliffs and sandy beaches there's plenty to offer for those looking for a scenic stroll. The Hole in the Wall village is definitely worth a visit, with great snorkelling, swimming and plenty of spectacular walks and hikes in the area.

Getting There

It's quite a drive from any of the nearest cities, but it's obscurity is part of it's charm. It's only reachable by road, and many of the roads aren't paved, so it's a good six hour drive from Durban and even longer from Port Elizabeth.
