Paradise Beach, Jeffreys Bay – Eastern Cape

Paradise Beach is a suburb of Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, situated approximately 80 km west of Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth).

Paradise Beach falls within the Kouga Local Municipality and the Sarah Baartman District Municipality.

Marking the halfway point between the surfing hotspot of Jeffrey’s Bay and the holiday retreat town of Cape St Francis is the aptly named Paradise Beach.

Although its name would imply that it refers only to a stretch of the coastline, Paradise Beach actually includes a quiet suburb that is bordered by natural reserves and picturesque estuaries. This means that the natural abundance around it is readily observed and includes otters, small antelope, and several beautiful bird species.

The serenity of this area makes for perfect photo opportunities.

Paradise Beach itself is a long sweep of white sand, onto which the warm blue of the Indian Ocean laps. This beach is perfect for water sports like kiteboarding, windsurfing, surfing, or jet-skiing. It is also great for swimming, tanning, or just taking a stroll.

Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life sometimes means escaping it all and taking in the natural splendour around you. Paradise Beach provides the ideal chance to do just that.
