This Coffee Bay backpackers is perfectly set for any mood!
This Coffee Bay backpackers looks out over the beach
Situated on Coffee Bay’s main beach, Sugarloaf lies at the Nenga (whale) River Mouth. Begin your day with a freshly ground cappuccino while watching the sun rise over the ocean. Wander down to the rugged Wild Coast cliffs at the end of the beach, exploring bays and caves en route. Come home and lounge on leather couches whilst watching the kingfishers diving into the lagoon, cows strolling on the beach and the surfers ripping Coffee Bay’s right hand point break. Wait up. Why aren’t you ripping that point break? Must be ‘cos you’re waiting to eat at the sea-view seafood restaurant. Lunch in the garden, candle-lit dinners, tastebud tantalizers, and everyone’s welcome, so bring that hot surfer you bumped on the beach. A cocktail from the Tokoloshe Bar is a great ice breaker. Another one and, oops, watch out for global warming...
