Coffee Bay | Where You’d Rather BeWe took to the sky to document yet another east coast gem in South Africa

It’s a photographers dream (I find myself saying that a lot in South Africa) but it is so difficult to showcase the beauty of Coffee Bay and the Transkei in a way that truly does it justice. It’s one of those places you just have to see for yourself to get an idea as to why people describe it as simply, unforgettable.

When it comes to scenery its unrivaled.

It’s truly special place and experience. Far removed from anything most of us have come to know as normal. It’s home to the indigenous Xhosa people of South Africa, a place of rolling hills, wild seas, self subsistence and raw beauty. As surreal as time travel, we took a step back and got to experience life in Coffee Bay and the Transkei. With the help of a Drone I was able to document some our stay from the sky to give you some stunning visuals and insight as to what it might be like.

Trip Update

This trip has been amazing so far, we’re currently doing our assessments for our ISA and Surf Lifegaurd qualifications in Durban and in a couple of days everybody should be qualified ISA level 1 Surf Instructors, and who knows where surfing will take them from there.. Nicaragua.. Samoa.. Indonesia.. Costa Rica.. France.. Portugal.. Morocco..

Life is good!
