About this experience

Near Simon’s Town, Boulders Beach is home to a colony of endangered African penguins. Boardwalks through the dunes let you watch them nesting, waddling and swimming among the granite boulders.

The colony is part of Table Mountain National Park, and nearby sheltered coves are good for a swim. It combines naturally with a Cape Point day.
