About Port alfred

Port Alfred features beautiful beaches and the scenic Kowie River, drawing visitors for its coastal charm and outdoor pursuits. The area includes opportunities for fishing and boating, with a laid-back atmosphere that appeals to those seeking a break. Local spots provide a variety of experiences for different tastes.

Port Alfred is a coastal town in the Eastern Cape, known for its position along the Indian Ocean and the mouth of the Kowie River. The town developed around this natural harbour, which has supported fishing and trade for many years. Beaches here stretch along the coastline, offering spots for swimming and walks. The nearby Royal Alfred Marina serves as a hub for boats and water activities.

One key attraction is the Kowie River, which winds through the town and provides options for canoeing and kayaking. The riverbanks feature walking paths that lead to viewpoints overlooking the water. Historical buildings from the 19th century line some streets, reflecting the town's past as a port. The Port Alfred Golf Club, located close to the sea, attracts players with its course layout that incorporates dunes and fairways.

For those planning a stay, Port Alfred accommodation ranges from guesthouses near the beach to options in quieter suburbs. Visitors might explore the nearby settlement of Kenton-on-Sea, just a short drive away, where additional beaches and dunes offer more exploration. The area also includes nature reserves that protect local wildlife, such as birds and small mammals. Weather in the region is generally mild, making it suitable for year-round visits.

Travelers can reach Port Alfred by road from major cities, with the distance from East London being about 140 kilometers. Local markets provide fresh seafood and produce, adding to the appeal for self-catering stays. The combination of river and sea environments creates a unique setting for photography and relaxation.
