SALLY CAN’T SURF

Sally Can’t Surf is all about good vibes and great times.

Founded by two lifelong surfer friends who believe life is too short to be taken too seriously, it’s a true passion project. David, the creative mastermind behind the concept, brings his unique vision to life with a natural flair for crafting a one-of-a-kind venue. Having successfully run a pub in Hole in the Wall, Transkei since the early 2000s. David saw Mozambique as the perfect setting for Sally Can’t Surf.

With its mix of a party venue, accommodation, and a restaurant, it’s hard to imagine a better spot to unwind.

David embodies the laid-back, easygoing spirit of the place.

His friend Eduard, founder of the Peri Peri Chicken Appreciation Association, was quick to join him in this new adventure. When Eduard crosses the border into Mozambique, he transforms into “Eduardo,” embracing the local flavour until he returns home.

Sally Can’t Surf restaurant and bar:

The Sally Can’t Surf bar concept was born 24 years ago. It operated in Hole-in-the-Wall in the Transkei, Glenmore and Port Edward on the Kwazulu Natal South Coast. In the year 2024 two lifelong friends decided that Ponta Do Ouro would be an ideal location to let this famous bar rise from the phoenix. When the premises of the old Cafe Del Mar, where Frenchie operated a busy bar up to 2020, became available, the friends decided they were going to create a bar like no other.
