Coffee Bay - caves

[hrogers]

Hi - Any of out angler ever went to any caves around Coffee bay - Any idea how to get to the caves ?
According to images I saw there is a cave at Mapuzi river cliffs

Henry there is a very small cave on top of Maphuzi cliffs. Not very spectacular at all, and probably not worth the effort of getting to. This is a very dangerous spot and certainly not recommended for the family. It involves shuffling along a really scary narrow ledge for 5m across a vicious sea way down below. Fishing from Maphuzi is primarily for Sharks and Rays, very difficult to land anything there.

Hi Toni
Thanks for the info
Here is some of the images I found, not sure if it is really at Mapuzi

Don't recognize that at all Henry. Definitely not on top of Maphuzi cliffs. It might be the other side of the bay at Maphuzi, near the river?

Hi Tony. It's possible = will go and explore when I booked in at White clay on 13 July
Expenses already paid so it only a matter of time....
I will asked the locals as well if I don't get any information

The pictures are ringing a bell in dark memory somewhere - I think i found a cave walking north from Coffee bay some years back - going to google earth now to see if anything jogs my memory.

Hi Crankman - If you find anything please keep us posted

[CRANKMAN]

Pretty sure that cave is here

Then it would be the path from Ocean view hotel all along the beach to the left
Thanks Crankman !!

Google earth has a place marker called "picture from the cave" - but the photo is missing, at that exact location, so I think that is it. Took my kids there when they were just toddlers, so was definitely family friendly.

I will go and explore to see if I can find anything and if I do I will take some photos to share

Another Photo I found

The picture with the title View from the Cave ~ Ocean View Hotel - Coffee Bay was taken by the photographer Recht Weyers   on 02 June 2011 and published over Panoramio. View from the Cave ~   Ocean View Hotel - Coffee Bay is next to Coffee Bay and is located in   Eastern Cape, South Africa. You can see the original site of the image here.

From Coffee Bay to Mthata Mouth there are plenty of caves (see from Sea). I have never been to any of them and not sure how many are accessible. There are other caves that were used my Mkonto Lesizwe etc and I am sure the Hotels In CB will know of them and there will be guides who can take you.


Near Mthata Mouth on the CB (South side) there are also some deep pools where you can go rockjumping etc, but also never gone.

YES! Crankman spot on. Left of Ocean view hotel, there are some impressive and spectacular caves just around the corner. Go at low tide. The high tide washes into them.
