About Port Alfred

Port Alfred's history is deeply intertwined with the 1820 British Settlers, who arrived to fortify the eastern frontier of the Cape Colony. Originally named Port Frances, it was later renamed in honor of Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria's second son. This heritage is palpable along the Halstead Heritage Trail, which winds past historic buildings and sites. The town is famous for its unique double-mouth estuary of the Kowie River, a feat of 19th-century engineering that created a navigable harbor, now the vibrant Port Alfred Marina. Culturally, it's a mix of settler history, Xhosa influences, and a strong contemporary focus on water sports, fishing, and golf. The main districts are centered around the West Bank, home to the marina, shops, and many restaurants, and the East Bank, which features beautiful residential areas and access to stunning beaches like Kelly's Beach. Port Alfred is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, renowned for its excellent river and sea fishing, boating, and the nearby Fish River Sun Casino and Golf Resort. It's a town that celebrates its river, its history, and its status as a peaceful holiday destination for South Africans and international visitors alike.
