Food scene
After a long drive down to Jeffreys Bay, Ninas comes as a real favourite local spot. With the most incredible food for all those Vegans and Vegetarians they have a separate menu just for you. Meat eaters don´t worry they got you covered with incredible steaks and burgers too. If you happen to be around on Monday Night be sure to join in on their signature curry nights!

They come very reccomended by most guests as they are just an all-rounder of a restaurant. I recommend a good Steak or a Seafood platter. Note that they can be a little more pricey.

BEST BREAKFAST! BEST VIEW! GREAT FOOD and COFFEE! This personally, is one of my favourites as it is located about 100m from the apartment down towards the beach. They not only have incredible views, but great affordable breakfast options with the friendliest staff ever. I recommend them for a breakfast, brunch or lunch as they are closed at nights.

Neighborhoods
Port Elizabeth is about an hour drive from Jeffreys Bay, this is where the airport is situated. I wouldn't recommend spending the day there as it is very much just like any other city. Once you have landed, make your way over to the car hire and come through to Jeffreys bay and enjoy a full day here instead.

Definitely worth the drive! Located about 30 mins from Jeffreys bay is a beautiful town called St Francis Bay. I would definitely recommend driving through to go see the beautiful beaches, white houses and go through to the Harbour and have some local caught Fish and Chips.
