Alkmaar (Sranan Tongo: Goedoefrow[2]) is a resort in Suriname, located in the Commewijne District.

[3] The plantation was named after the city of Alkmaar in the Dutch province of North Holland where Jacobus Hengeveldt, the founder was born.

The Moravian Church (EMEA) is an important center of Christian consignment among the Hindus, and started when P.M. Legêne arrived in Alkmaar.

After the completion of Fort at New Amsterdam in 1746, the land at the mouth of the Commewijne River was cleared to make way for the plantation which opened in 1747.

[9] The villages of Johan & Margaretha and Frederiksdorp on the other side of the river, can be reached by a ferry from Mariënburg.
