'''Alfa Beach''' is a neighborhood along the Southern Rim of Homestar Bay in [[Oranjestad]]. It sits directly north of [[Irvington]] and west of [[Brahmin Beach]]. In the early 1950s Alfa Beach was born out of the ashes of the old Isfahan neighborhood. Alfa Beach is a major regional tourist draw because of its recreational beaches and close proximity to the [[Dukeside National Park]]. The area is dissected by the Orangetown Highway, which creates an artificial border separating the touristy and wealthy northern side to the older, working class southern side (known locally as “Beta Beach”).

Alfa Beach, a captivating neighborhood in New Orange City, is strategically situated directly north of Irvington, west of Brahmin Beach, and along the waterfront facing Parkview Island to the north. The neighborhood came into existence in the early 1950s, rising from the ruins of the old Isfahan neighborhood. Notable for its recreational beaches, Alfa Beach draws regional tourists and is bisected by the elevated Orangetown Expressway, creating a distinctive divide between the affluent northern side and the working-class southern side, known locally as "Beta Beach." Alfa Beach is conveniently serviced by the Hyperloop rail line and uniquely lacks subterranean developments or tunnels to Lusus, setting it apart from other New Orange City neighborhoods.

The buildings were mostly Shanevr medieval style homes copied from the mainland. The beachfront was once a build made by Slyypenguin in the Tyrozone. There were two buildings from keikei’s Silex Civis and one from Mattropolis. These have all been deleted and are being replaced with all original buildings created by nebbers.
