Coffee Bay Verblyf

Coffee Bay offers travellers the epitome of rural South African life and is a hugely popular destination because of its picturesque setting and seriously laid back vibe. Accommodation in Coffee Bay tends towards the rustic with a couple of backpackers lodges, a campsite, a few basic hotels and a bunch of self-catering accommodation available.

Coffee Bay is to be found on the Eastern Cape's Wild Coast, a region which lives up to its name! Coffee Bay is one of only 2 towns on the coast serviced by a tarred road, and even so, the windy, pot-holed tarmac makes for an adventure-filled journey. The nearest cities are Mthatha and East London.

While no-one is exactly sure how Coffee Bay got its name, the accepted legend is that a ship carrying coffee beans crashed on this coast in the mid 1800's. Some of the beans put down roots and for a while a few sad-looking coffee trees grew on this section of the coast. However, the salty conditions were not ideal and the coffee trees no longer grow in the area, although the name stuck. Today people frequent Coffee Bay for its laid back hippy vibe.

The town is tiny and is the sort of place where strolling around the gravel roads will inevitably lead you past little handicraft stalls of hand-made shell jewellery and macramé. There is a lot to do apart from wandering the streets.

Coffee Bay is situated amongst a network of trails which criss-cross the hills and coastline, taking one through rural Transkei villages and coastal forest. These trails can be undertaken by foot or by horse. Just 10 kilometres away you'll find Hole-in-the-Wall, a Wild Coast attraction famous for the hole carved into a giant chunk of rock just off the coast, a result of erosion by the pounding waves. The beach at Coffee Bay is also great for swimming and surfing, providing one of the only consistent waves on the Wild Coast.
