Nestled along the scenic Sunshine Coast in Port Alfred, Kelly’s Beach is a premier destination for sunseekers, families, and water enthusiasts alike. This idyllic stretch of coastline, renowned for its unspoiled beauty and relaxed atmosphere, offers a quintessential beach experience that captures the charm of the Eastern Cape.
With its soft golden sands and calm, crystal-clear waters, Kelly’s Beach is a haven for beachgoers of all ages. The beach is internationally recognized as a Blue Flag Beach, a testament to its high standards of water quality, safety, and environmental management.
