Contestants were doing the rock dance in the Girls Division at the recent Rip Curl GromSearch presented by Sea Harvest and Kouga Municipality. Threading their way back over the low-tide rocks at Seal Point. With the equinox full low tide, the rocks were fairly exposed, making for some tricky surfing during the day.
Thanks to Kouga Municipality, which supported and backed the event and the young competitors.

– Tucked away in the heart of Jeffreys Bay lies a hidden gem, a lush ribbon of green that offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, so come and discover Noorsekloof Nature Reserve in Jeffreys Bay
It is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving the rich biodiversity of the Eastern Cape while offering locals and visitors a chance to reconnect with nature. Since its establishment as a formal conservation site in 1984, this reserve has been a beacon of natural beauty, quietly thriving amidst the suburban sprawl.
Bird Enthusiasts
For bird enthusiasts, the Noorsekloof Nature Reserve is a veritable paradise. The reserve is home to over 50 bird species, including the elusive Knysna Loerie, the industrious Knysna Woodpecker, and the elegant Paradise Flycatcher. With a bit of patience and a keen eye, visitors may spot these feathered wonders as they flit through the dense foliage or perch high in the treetops.
The reserve’s valley bushveld habitat, a lesser-known yet vital ecosystem, provides the perfect backdrop for these avian residents.
Green Lung
The Noorsekloof Nature Reserve is more than just a patch of wilderness; it’s a vital green lung for the surrounding community. Stretching roughly 200 metres wide at its narrowest and expanding to about 400 metres in its heart, the reserve winds its way through residential neighborhoods, offering a serene escape for those seeking solace in nature.
A narrow greenbelt connects the reserve to the nearby beach, creating a seamless blend of coastal and bushveld environments.
The reserve’s signature feature is its 3km trail that meanders alongside a tranquil stream. Starting at the entrance at Dogwood Street and ending at Eland Street, the trail invites visitors to explore the beauty of the kloof.
Valley Bushveld
As you walk, you’ll be enveloped by the dense, sometimes thorny vegetation that characterises valley bushveld – a plant type often overshadowed by the more famous fynbos but no less deserving of attention.
Let the sights and sounds of nature envelop you. Listen to the rustle of leaves, the distant call of birds, and the gentle babble of the stream.
Please remember to stay on the main trail, not only for your safety but also to respect the privacy of nearby residents.
So, whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a birdwatcher, or simply someone in need of a peaceful retreat, the Noorsekloof Nature Reserve awaits.
Come and discover this hidden gem of Jeffreys Bay, where the Eastern Cape’s abundant fauna and flora are on full display, and nature’s wonders are just a step away.
