The Royal Alfred Marina is all about Lifestyle, Environment and Community. 

The Royal Alfred Marina is a secure residential estate located on the Kowie River in Port Alfred, on the Eastern Cape's Sunshine Coast. Nowhere else is there a private Blue Flag marina quite like ours - harmoniously integrated with a natural tidal estuary, and where every home has its own waterfront, with both water and road access.

Marina Lifestyle

An idyllic, relaxed environment for families wanting to live close to nature within easy reach of urban amenities.

Marina Property

Situated in the heart of Port Alfred, this 45-ha estate has 360 properties on 5 islands in the Kowie River's tidal estuary.

Marina Community

Our multi-generational Marina community takes full advantage of living the dream in this little corner of paradise.

“It is the mission of the Royal Alfred Marina to provide its members with
a safe and highly desirable lifestyle, in a well-maintained environment.”

Blue Flag Awards

31 October 2025, Port Alfred

We’re thrilled to celebrate this year’s Blue Flag Awards, proudly hosted right here in Port Alfred on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Congratulations to all the 2025/26 Blue Flag recipients for their dedication to keeping South Africa’s beaches and marinas world-class. A special salute goes to Kelly’s Beach, marking an incredible 20 consecutive Blue Flag seasons, and to our own Royal Alfred Marina, continuing to fly the flag for excellence, maintaining high standards of environmental management, safety, service and education.

Our thanks to WESSA (the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa) for their continued leadership in championing sustainable coastal management and recognizing the communities that care deeply for our shared natural heritage.
