THE VIEW IS STUNNING
Need we say more? Milk on the Beach is located on Onrus River, a 10-minute drive from Hermanus.
At Milk, you’ll be treated to views of both the sea and the mountains. Image: Milk on the Beach
IT’S RIGHT ON THE BEACH
Head over to Milk after a day at the beach with the kids. Or, enjoy a beer while you watch your kids build sandcastles - Milk has a beach shop selling buckets, spades and pool noodles.
Milk also has a tuckshop if you want to pop in for a beach snack. Image: Milk on the Beach
BUILD YOUR OWN WAFFLE
Down the stairs is the Waffle Shack. Come in with sandy feet and try a loaded Mexican hotdog or a Berry Cheesecake waffle. The kids can also build their own waffles.
The loaded Mexican Chihuahua is a cheese griller topped with salsa and nacho crumbs and jalapeño. Image: Milk on the Beach
THERE’S FUN FOR ADULTS TOO
The deck overlooking the lagoon makes Milk a great spot for sundowners. Order a kombucha cocktail or an ice-cold beer, and enjoy sushi made with fresh salmon and tuna.

BRING YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND
This beach-side spot is dog-friendly and the restaurant is covered with funky murals of pugs and French bulldogs. At the Waffle Shack, there’s even a Dog Bowl cocktail (for humans only).
There’s a ceramic bowl of treats for your doggie at the door. Image: Milk on the Beach
