Victoria Bay is a small cove in the Western Cape, South Africa, situated on the Garden Route between George and Wilderness. It is a popular beach for surfers, consisting of a right hand reef-like wave which rolls over small boulder-like rocks for about 200m. A 2019 article described Vic Bay (as it is locally known) as being "well known as the best right hand point break in the Southern Cape". District and National surf competitions are often held at Vic Bay and despite its small size, Vic Bay is a well-known and much-visited spot.
It is also extremely popular with swimmers who are able to swim in demarcated beach areas or in the tidal pool at the beach.
