A Coastal Gem with a Rich Past

Muizenberg Beach, located along the False Bay coastline in Cape Town, South Africa, is steeped in history, tracing its origins to the early days of Dutch colonization in the 17th century. The area’s name, derived from “Muijs His Mountain” (a reference to the Dutch official Sergeant Wynand Willem Muijs), reflects its colonial heritage. Muizenberg rapidly became a critical military and trading hub during the early days of the Cape settlement.
