• Watch the Fireworks from Milnerton Beach
If the lovely duo are keen on watching fireworks but prefer to get away from the crowds and would rather a calmer New Year's Eve, they can head to Milnerton Beach. With toes tucked in the sand, a blanket, picnic basket and a cozy spot on the beach, they can enjoy each other's company and still have a full view of the fantastic fireworks against a starry sky. Milnerton is also well-known for its historic lighthouse, which sits virtually on the beach.

India's sweethearts will sure have an interesting time at the Cape Point Vineyards with the theme - Steampunk Extravaganza and prizes for being best dressed!
