Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is paradise for holiday makers, both within South Africa and abroad. A wonderful, affordable beach holiday, with pristine, Blue flag beaches and excellent accomodation. The main feature of the town is the bridge which highlights the silky blue water and the marina surrounding it. The Halyards Hotel has a ’seaside’ feel, and is set on the river. Port Alfred is a favourite holiday destination because it is quiet,
laid back and yet has two small shopping centres, enough to cater to your needs. Port Alfred turned from being my holiday destination to my home town. I have lived here for four years and there is no where else in this world I would rather be.
The town comes to life in December with the holiday makers and their revelry. New Year brings a wonderful firework display and holiday makers tan themselves on the beach,
