Message from Michelle Wears-Taylor

Melkbosstrand, a coastal town in South Africa located 30 km north of Cape Town, is known for its 7-kilometer stretch of white sand beach popular with surfers. The town, often referred to as Melkbos, is named after the milkbush bushes that grow on its dunes. With a rich history dating back to the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806, Melkbosstrand boasts colonial Dutch architecture and is home to a diverse community, including South African celebrities. Its pristine seaside location, wildlife abundance, and relaxed atmosphere make it a charming destination for locals and visitors alike.
