The restaurant is right on the beach, you couldn't get closer!
The food is scrumptious, cooked on open fires or in clay ovens and definitely the best seafood in town.
Expect to be seated at benches with a wood burning fireplace placed at the end of it to fend off the chillier evenings.

Arts & Culture
The museum is about remembering the history of surfing and paying tribute to the many surfing pioneers and legends that have developed the sport over a span of several years.
This is not only about the people and personalities but also about the evolution of the actual surfboard from wooden boards to the ultra light foam and glass fibre surfboards that exist today.
The Jeffreys Bay museum encompasses all this and more. It imbibes the spirit of surfing. Walking through the museum immediately makes one aware of that special magic which exists between the surfer and the ocean, the realization that only a surfer truly knows the feeling...
The museum is located in the Quicksilver shop.
