Morgan's Bay Backpackers

Situated only 30 steps from the Indian Ocean Morgan’s Bay Backpackers offers something for everyone looking to get away from the bustle of the city. Stroll along the shoreline exploring rock pools or laze on the beach where you can watch dolphins and whales frolic in the waves or turn around and watch more than 200 species of birds on the lagoon. For the more active there are beach horse rides, hiking or riding quad bikes along the rugged coastline, tours to neighbouring Xhosa villages. In the evenings gather at the bar for lively conversation or competitive pool games and on sporting days cheer your team along.

For the surfer Morgans Bay is an exposed break that has reasonably consistent surf. There is a right point break and a beach break. Summer offers the best conditions. Off shore winds are from the North West. Ground swells are more frequent than wind swell and the best swell direction is from the south. The point produces perfect right hand barrels that funnel into the bay. The beach break is either a left or a right
