Coffee Bay, South Africa

Coffee Bay is possibly one of the most beautiful places along the coast of South Africa, a scenic place for tourist looking for an environment for lazing around on the beach, for hiking, and for fishing.  It is a countryside and has a small population.

The place got her name from a shipwreck in 1893, then a ship, fully loaded with coffee beans marooned on its coast and scattered coffee beans all over the village with some help from the plunderers, these coffee beans sprouted and the name Coffee Bay was quickly derived. Though some of the beans sprouted none survived in the salty soil. Still, the legend of the shipwrecked was enough to leave its mark on the bay for centuries to come and today the bay is still named after the event.

But as an alternative to searching for coffee beans and shipwrecks, it would be much more advisable if you were to head off to one of the many great opportunities abounding in the village environs like fishing, mountain climbing or hiking and many more fun things.

The village people of Coffee Bay speaks Xhosa, and graze livestock inland looking for pastures and have done so for many centuries, Nelson Mandela was also a Xhosa and possibly the most famous because he changed history.
