Jeffrey's Bay
A short drive to the west of Port Elizabeth is the surfing Mecca
of Jeffrey's Bay (known colloquially as 'J-Bay'). The seaside town
plays host to the world Billabong Professional surfing contest
every July, and is famed for its 'supertubes', South Africa's
perfect wave. The town is bustling, with several stores selling
branded surfing gear, and several flashy cafes and restaurants. The
long stretches of sandy beach around the town are also renowned for
their shells.
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.
