Miller’s Point

There are two turn-offs for Miller’s point. One leads to the caravan park and the other to Rumbly Bay where you’ll find a couple of boat launch sites and a tidal pool halfway between two boat launch sites

Divers and anglers love this beach because it’s the main boat-launching slipway on the southern side of the False Bay coast. This marine-protected area has abundant sea life. It is therefore popular for scuba diving and fishing.

To reach the tidal pool you will need to take a short walk. The pool is hidden so you need to know it’s there. There is a little water slide and incredible views out over the rocky bay. On the beach are some sheltered natural sea pools where children can safely paddle.

This bay was developed by Edmund Miller in 1825 as a whaling station. This enterprise ended 25 years later when whaling was banned. The coast remained untouched for almost 100 years.

The Molteno family also built their holiday home here, The premises were later donated to the city and are now a restaurant. Miller’s Point today is part of Table Mountain National Park. It is a popular whale-watching site as two deep pools just north of Miller’s Point attract the southern right whales and their young.
