The market was previously located a little further along the R27 at a particularly dusty spot which, combined with the wind, made visiting the market a little unpleasant. Today the market is located on a long stretch of dust-free tarmac and each trader has a clearly marked out and numbered spot (which makes it easier to find particular stalls on return visits).

Ah Paul.. my “neck of the woods! Milnerton is where I always stay when in CPT mainly as I have friends there and I rather like it’s location. I’ve never been to the flea market though. Is it still next to the beach? Or further back? It looks quite misty in this shot!

Post authorAh, yes, Milnerton. I can’t say that I *really* enjoy the suburb – except for Woodbridge Island, I guess. :)
Yeah, well, it’s close to the ocean (the train tracks are all that separate it from the sea), but I don’t recall seeing a beach that I think many would frequent.
That said, Woodbridge Island and some of the surrounding areas have really nice beaches.

Post authorOh, yes, the skies were clear and blue about 1 or 2 kilometers inland – but yes, there was a thick mist rolling in from the ocean.

Post authorHi Jacques,
You can try the Neighbourgoods Market – http://www.neighbourgoodsmarket.co.za/ as well as the Market at the Palm – http://www.palms.co.za/. Neither of those are in gardens, unfortunately.
If you’re keen to go though to Somerset West, then visit the Country Craft Market, it’s super-popular, and outside: https://www.facebook.com/CountryCraftMarket/info
You could also visit Durbanville Craft market… they’re outside also – http://www.durbanvillecraftmarket.co.za/.
