Melkbosstrand

A quintessential fishing village along the West Coast Way, Melkbosstrand, literally translates to 'milk bush beach,' due to its Euphorbiaceae bushes emitting a milky latex-like substance. The beaches, lined with oceanfront restaurants, are a hub for water sports enthusiasts—ideal conditions for wind and kite surfing, surf skiing, and sea kayaking. Boating enthusiasts find a safe slipway at Melkbos Point. Notably, the rocky outcrop, Slabbert se Klippe, is a favored fishing spot. Adding to its allure, Melkbosstrand is home to The Atlantic Beach Golf Course, an esteemed 18-hole expanse offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain.
