Jeffrey's Bay

We loved staying in Jeffrey's Bay, a very chilled out surfer town, famous for its supertube waves. We took on the chilled out vibe and enjoyed many beach walks spotting dolphins, looking for shells and watching the surfers as well as lazing around and topping up our tans.

We sat watching the sunset one night, while enjoying our last bottle of Chenin Blanc bought on the Franschhoek Wine Tram tour, and saw the most incredible sight. It was dark and a blue light which looked like lighting passed through the water as the waves crashed. We have since learnt that this is a rare occurrence and caused by the water being a certain temperature and the friction between the sea water and a particular plankton, which must be present. Therefore we were very lucky to see it and was a special moment for us.
