Explore, discover and enjoy a unique taste of rural Africa! Coffee Shack is a backpackers tropical paradise located right on the beach at the Bomvu River mouth on the Transkei Wild Coast, a deeply traditional area of South Africa where you'll experience a way of life far removed from Western culture. Coffee Shack has a reputation for being a fun, good-value hostel with excellent facilities and the most amazing, friendly staff. Most visitors rate Coffee Shack as a highlight of their SA tour...

Learn to surf at Coffee Shack with the cheapest professional surfing lessons on the planet: R20 for a 2 hour session! (That's about $2.00.)

Coffee Bay has nice point and beach breaks, and they also run day trips to Mdumbi, an amazing beach with a good point break for accomplished surfers. Dolphins are plentiful. If you're doing a surf trip, there are many other spots up and down the Wild Coast. Dave's surfed them all and is a good source of info on local conditions.

For write-ups on Wild Coast surf spots, see www.wavescape.co.za

When you're in Coffee Bay, a great way to spend some time is visiting Jah Drums.

You can make your own drum at Jah Drums Drum Factory; or simply buy one of their professional instruments.

Also visit the restaurant and enjoy some Ital food prepared by Isham.

You'll find them right next to Afritude where you can buy original Afritude T-shirts. The funkiest clothing line in South Africa.

It's time for the 50km "White Clay Iron Man Challenge" again.
