Mazeppa Bay is a holiday resort town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, situated on the Wild Coast, approximately 175 km north-east of East London.
Mazeppa Bay falls within the Mnquma Local Municipality and the Amathole District Municipality.
The name Mazeppa comes from the schooner Mazeppa, which took the surviving Voortrekkers of Louis Trichardt’s party from Delagoa Bay to Port Natal in 1839. The schooner in turn was named after the Ukrainian patriot Ivan Mazeppa (1639–1709). After the publication of Byron’s poem Mazeppa in May 1819, it became common to name boats Mazeppa as a symbol of speed.
Mazeppa Bay is known for its fishing and was featured in episode three of the first season of Extreme Fishing with Robson Green.
