Jeffreys Bay, South Africa beach guide & holiday information
Jeffreys Bay, also fondly known as J-Bay, is a great surfing destination, and it's beaches much treasured Blue Flag status makes it attractive to allcomers looking for an ideal vacation spot. Jeffreys Bay Seekoei (Hippopotamus) River Nature Reserve is located on the estuary of the Swart and the Seekoei Rivers and is found between Aston Bay and Paradise Beach.
The holiday destination of Paradise Beach is by and large a suburb of J-Bay and yet it has remained surprisingly untouched by man's inexorable march of civilisation. Paradise Beach is where one can laze about in the sun and sand and catch a glimpse of the varied wildlife and birds found endemic to this part of the world. Dainty buck tiptoe into view in search of food and water, while a lazy old tortoise trudges along in the sands possibly on the lookout for an equally lumbering mate whose pace matches his while they seek a place in the sun to chill out and remember days gone by, long gone by, for in their world they can live about a century or more.
Rabbits and mongoose hang out here and those cheerful chappies, the otters, play in the waters with carefree abandonment. The white sands of Paradise Beach are pristine and perfect for a beach holiday destination the closestt to heaven as one can get without the awkwardness of actually dying. Which is possibly why it is called Paradise Beach.
