Accommodation Aston Bay – If you are visiting, the best way to reach Aston Bay is to fly into nearby Port Elizabeth from either Cape Town or Johannesburg, and then arrange transportation to your hotel, time-share resort, B&B or other Accommodation Aston Bay. The most popular time for tourists to visit Aston Bay is from June to August when the waves are at their best, but many surfers also visit in the winter months when you can still surf with the right wet suit.

Legend has it that the father of South Africa surfing, John Whitmore, discovered the waves at Paradise Beach in the late 1950s as he drove up the famous N2 “Garden Route” between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on a business trip. As he stood in amazement at the side of the road looking at an as yet un-mapped break through binoculars.

In 1961 Bruce Brown came to South Africa to film part of his classic “Endless Summer” and captured the magic of nearby Bruces Beauties firing, and with it the imaginations of a million surfers. Not the most consistent of waves, but soon enough the travelling seekers cottoned onto another nearby set-up, Aston Bay, which was to be seen as the best right point-break on the planet, and still is to this day!
