See the African Penguins at Boulders Beach

Boulders Beach Simonstown
You'll find this unique and picturesque corner of the Cape Peninsula coastline situated about 2kms out of the centre of Simonstown towards the Cape Point Nature Reserve. The region falls within the Table Mountain National Park and is an established African Penguin reserve, attracting locals and international travellers from far and wide. An entrance fee of R15 ($2 approx) is levied on beach goers, the funds being used for conservation of the penguins and their terrain.

Wooden walkways have been laid down to enable penguin watchers to move about the area without disturbing the penguins, and wardens are on hand to provide you with information on penguin etiquette where necessary.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � A cosy section of beach adjoining the penguin colony, surrounded by huge ancient boulders and characterised by calm shallow pools of sea water, is reserved for humans. The area is popular with families and - largely due to the entrance fee and the resident penguins - considered to be somewhat exclusive.�

Bear in mind however that the Boulders Beach Simonstown reserve becomes rather crowded during the summer season.

There are ablutions facilities, curio shops and a restaurant nearby.
