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 Sunshine Coast in South Africa. 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. Many people are first drawn here by the location and security, but what truly defines the Marina is the lifestyle - relaxed coastal living, beautiful surroundings, and a welcoming community.

VISITOR REVIEW, March 2026:
“People may choose this beautiful Marina for its safe surroundings, but being close to nature in an easy coastal rhythm that somehow balances energy and tranquility truly captivated me. Children play, neighbours wave, some people are super active, while others seem to move with the tide. It’s a rare gem - a place where life feels more relaxed, and a lot less stressful. Truly living the dream. I'll definitely be back!”
