One of the top Backpackers in J'Bay
Perched on sand dunes overlooking perfect waves and frolicking dolphins, you’ll be greeted at this backpackers by happy tail wagging (staff and dogs). Pick one of their awesome rooms from garden-side dorms to wooden cabins with endless beach views. Or flashpack in the Beach Lodge with fluffy towels and queen sized beds. No matter where you bunk down, you’ll have front row sunrise seats. Wake up early with coffee in bed, roll down the dune to Kitchen Windows for a surf then back up again for a late brekkie. Spend days surfing or lounging on the deck, learning English at J’Bay Language School, at the gym in town, sandboarding, riding or on a township tour and waterfall trip. As the sun sets, gather for a Mexican feast or one of their famous Abunai pizza’s in the restaurant, and cocktails at the vibrant beach bar.
Riding Supertubes may be for the devout, but daily surf lessons, or their 7 day surf camp, will make you a believer. Keep the faith and attend the local Zionist Church on Sunday.
