MELKBOSSTRAND

Melkbosstrand, named after the milkwood trees growing north of the town is a beautiful coastal village 20 minutes drive from Cape Town and situated on the West Coast 7 km from Table View

Melkbostrand is a popular venue for surfing, windsurfing, crayfishing, fishing, kite-surfing. One of the reasons being easy access through the surf and therefore the only  natural slipway close to Cape Town . That is also the reason why the National Sea Rescue Institute is currently building their quarters on the beachfront, where they will store their rescue boats and equipment.

Early mornings and sunset time, many cyclists can be seen on the road between Melkbosstrand and Bloubergstrand. And another favourite is mountain biking in the nature reserve, on the beach or in the village.

Open white and clean beaches invite long walks, sunbathing and safe swimming. The Melkbosstrand residents are proud of their town and like to keep the town and beaches clean. Washed-out kelp are removed from the beach on a regular basis. 

Green lawns leading onto the beach are well maintained and inviting for kids (and adults) to have fun, picnics or just to relax.
