We arrived in Coffee Bay at the end of our 5 day hike on the Wild Coast Trail. Coffee Bay is a small town located right on the Indian Ocean. We rocked up to the Coffee Shack, a good sized backpackers where we planned to camp for the next 3 days. The atmosphere at Coffee Shack was great and we met a lot of people that told us that the place is addictive and that we would end up staying longer than we planned. They were right. We planned to stay 3 days and ended up staying 6. In that time we enjoyed some great parties, some high stakes card games and of course the waves! The first or second night we were in Coffee Bay our hostel had a full moon party and to kick-off the night we headed up to the bluffs overlooking the Indian Ocean to have oysters and drinks! And it was free, all of it! After our 6 days at the Coffee Shack we had to move on before we moved in so we headed further south down the coast to Jeffrey's Bay. J-Bay is a famous little surfers town known for the supertubes, a large clean wave that forms a tube perfect for surf competitions. J-Bay is also a good place for us beginners to improve our skills. We stayed in a great backpackers (Island Vibe) in an awesome private cabin with an amazing view! and yes we stayed longer than planned... again :) The photo sequence below shows Andrew tackling a wave that was a bit too big for his long board experience!
