Named after the species of Euphorbiaceae bushes which grow on the dunes and give off a milky latex like substance, it is commonly referred to simply as Melkbos. The town and its 7 km stretch of white sand beach is situated on the Atlantic coast with the Blouberg mountain to the east. Melkbosstrand now falls under the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality, and its nearest neighbouring towns are Bloubergstrand and Atlantis. This labeling remark is probably due to the fact that Melkbosstrand is home to a host of South African celebrities (retired rugby players, actors, writers, visiting members of the House of Lords ), and some higher class citizens, which is mainly due to its location and its beautiful view of Table Mountain. International best-selling novelist Deon Meyer was a long time resident of Melkbosstrand as well as South-African French philosopher Philippe-Joseph Salazar. It also boasts the upmarket Atlantic Beach Golf Estate and Golf Club. It owes much of its present day infrastructure to two significant South African apartheid government developments in the late seventies. Although ADE was in the industrial park of Atlantis, some 50 km north of Cape Town, subsidized housing was established in Melkbosstrand to help attract and retain the many German, British, and even South African, engineers, managers, and technicians. These houses, both for Koeberg and ADE, have long since been sold off to the public and form an interesting housing development with paved lanes, quaint housing, a club and a library, not un-reminiscent of the famed British series The Prisoner. Today, Melkbosstrand is still the landing point for the SAT-3 /WASS undersea cable system. Numerous shipwrecks, some dating back to the Portuguese Discoverers of the Early Renaissance, are strewn along the coast of Melkbosstrand. In terms of Dutch vernacular architecture, the area boasts several fine examples. Not very far, in a quiet vale, lie the beautifully preserved Moravian Mission of Mamre, established in 1806 and still serving the local community. It is a favourite spot for whale watching, when the gracious cetaceans, on their way round the Cape, repair in the sound that separate the village from Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for some time. Only ten kilometers away newly developed vineyards (in the Philadelphia area) are becoming a feature of the hinterland of Melkbosstrand.
