Coffee Bay - Coffee Shack - Cultural Experience

Untouched Wild Coast

Coffee Bay is still a deeply traditional area of South Africa where you'll experience a way of life far removed from Western culture. Here Xhosa culture, values and beliefs preside over daily life.

WELCOME TO COFFEE SHACK!

Coffee Bay in South Africa

Stunning location, right on the beach. We provide clean, safe, budget accommodation which includes ensuite and private rooms, dormitories and camping. If you are looking for peace and quiet, ask about our rooms across the beach.

Private rooms (with double bed)	from R480 per room
Dorm beds (6-8 bed dorms)	from R170 per person
Camping (2-3man tents only)	R100 per person

R100 for 2 hour surf lessons, warm water and good conditions make Coffee Bay an excellent place to learn to surf. Directly in front of the backpackers, Bomvu Bay occasionally offers a very nice convenient right for the more accomplished surfers. Coffee Bay has nice point and consistent beach break, for all levels of surfer, and there are many other surf spots up and down the Wild Coast, about which Dave, the owner, is very knowledgeable.
