Milnerton is pure heaven for outdoor sports enthusiasts. At the lagoon, one can enjoy canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The adjacent golf course is perfect if you want to work on your golfing skills. Along the lagoon, you will always find runners and cyclists making the most of the scenery.

Birdwatching is also a popular pastime at Milnerton lagoon. Visitors can spot the flamingo, Pied Avocet and seagull frolicking about in the water, catching prey or getting in some sun.

The Milnerton Beach is a good spot for kitesurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and bodyboarding. It is a safe swimming beach, thanks to the presence of lifeguards, for anyone brave enough for the chilly Western Cape seawater. Soak up the sun or wait for the sunset to get the perfect photograph of Table Mountain.

There are various shops and restaurants in the area to visit, including the Milnerton Market (every Saturday and Sunday) where you can buy any trinket or vintage item imaginable.
