Coffee Bay
In the heart of the Wild Coast is Coffee Bay, a small inlet near
Mthata with only a grocery store, post office, and a few B&Bs
and backpackers to its name. The destination largely appeals to
students and the young at heart, and the nightlife consists of
drumming circles and the occasional trance parties. What Coffee Bay
boasts of, however, is some of the best surfing in South Africa
along with spearfishing, scuba diving, and swimming, on an
unspoiled stretch of coastline. There is fishing to be done, and
you'll likely spot dolphins, whales, and the occasional Cape
Clawless Otter. The area is a paradise for hiking, horseback riding
and golf. Although distinctive landmarks are few, don't miss the
iconic Hole-in-the-Wall, a remarkable rock that has had a giant
tunnel carved into it by the sea.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
