The Eastern Province Coast is called Africa’s Sunshine Coast because it has more proven sunshine days per year than any other part of the South African coastline! Port Alfred is set halfway between Port Elizabeth and East London and therefore at the Heart of the Sunshine Coast

Port Alfred is set about halfway between Durban and Cape Town. It has a temperate climate which avoids the tropical humidity to the east and the cold wet winters of the west; instead it offers halcyon summers and winters of golden days and crisp nights

Overlooking the picturesque small boat harbour adjacent to the Royal Alfred marina, on the banks of the Kowie River you will find the most sought after holiday destination. Situated midway between East London and Port Elizabeth, exactly 150 kilometers either way. Known for the wonderful temperate climate, pristine endless beaches, friendly 'village' atmosphere & magnificent Kowie River, which flows out to the warm Indian ocean.
