Coffee Bay

With a place on the list of Most Beautiful Coastal Towns in South Africa, Espresso Bay in the Eastern Cape region gives the phrase "small town" a whole different meaning because there are still only 258 people living there. It must be crucial to the explanation because it's so enjoyable to look into.

The name is unique, and its history is also fascinating: Coffee Bay is thought to have been named following the development of several espresso trees from beans that were scattered either by a shipwreck or by robbers. It's a modern-day "Jack and the Beanstalk" tale set on the sloping terrain of the Wild Coast; in fact, you might spot Jack's cow munching not too far from the water.

Take a trip to visit Hole in the Wall, a beautiful natural feature carved out of a stone by countless centuries of pounding waves, or explore all that the central town's Xhosa culture has to offer in South Africa.
