Table Mountain, as seen on postcards and advertising material is the typical view of the mountain from the Blouberg area.

Blouberg includes a couple of smaller seaside and inland towns of which Bloubergstrand, Milnerton and Melkbosstrand are the best known.

Bloubergstrand is a favorite holiday town with lots of accommodation options, restaurants, shops and long stretches of white beach for swimming and sun bathing during the summer months. Throughout the year the beach is a popular spot for walking and late in the afternoon, families, older couples and dog walkers frequent the beach area. Apart from walking, all kinds of other water sport are quite popular here due the strong winds in this area. The wind can sometimes make the beach truly uncomfortable but the surfers love it. Self-catering and beach house rentals are the favorite accommodation venues in Blouberg as families tend to prefer the area.

On the Rocks is one of the internationally acclaimed restaurants in the Blouberg area. It is basically on the rocks at Bloubergstrand and some of the favorite dishes are seafood platters and lamb shank. They cater for weddings and corporate functions and have special menus for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Ons Huisie (our small house) is the other favorite restaurant is the Blouberg area and the building dates back to 1800s. The restaurant owners did a good job of restoring the dwelling to create a true fisherman’s cottage atmosphere. The menu honors the West Coast style with a variety of fish dishes and spit and fish braais (barbeque). They also have a separate Christmas menu and are open seven days a week.
