Workation in Jeffreys Bay: the essentials
J-Bay, as everyone calls it, is a surf town just off the N2 in the Eastern Cape, about 75 km southwest of Gqeberha, with some 27,000 residents at the 2011 census. Supertubes, a long right-hand point break, made its name, and it was a stop on the WSL Championship Tour for many years until it was dropped for 2026. The big swells arrive in the southern winter, when surfers fill the town, and December brings South African holidaymakers. Between those peaks it is quiet. Gqeberha has the nearest airport with scheduled flights. Nightlife is thin, and a car makes life much easier.
