The Milnerton Fleamarket

The Milnerton Informal Traders Association organise the weekend fleamarket along the R27 between the suburbs of Paarden Island and Milnerton. The fleamarket is a genuine bric-à-brac market where traders are allowed only to sell second-hand goods.

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!

    Ah, 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.

    Oh, 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.
