Timeline
09:00
Visit the Jeffreys Bay Shell Museum. It opens at 09:00, so you will be among the first inside. Browse the collection and pick up a copy of The Sea Shells of Jeffreys Bay by Douw and Elise Steyn to identify what you find on the sand later.
09:20
Walk seven minutes to Kitchen Windows for lunch. This seafood specialist is open from 11:30 AM, but if you arrive earlier, you can wait for their lunch service or grab a coffee. If you prefer a quicker bite, In Food (7 min walk) serves the best breakfast and coffee in town, though opening hours are not specified.
10:00
Head to Main Beach for a stroll. It is only a 10-minute walk from the dining area. The beach is known for the huge quantity and quality of shells, so keep an eye out for specimens to add to your collection.
Local tip
The Shell Museum is closed on Mondays. On Sundays, it closes early at 13:00, so plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday if you want the full afternoon.
