[2024 Simon's Town Attraction] Travel Guide for Boulders Beach (Updated Sep)

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony South Africa

#beachvacation Yesterday we visited the Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach. On the way back from Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope we made a short stop and it was definitely worth it. We parked at the southern end. From there you can walk to the main entrance on a boardwalk and watch the penguins chilling on the beach from far away. We even saw some close by the boardwalk so we saved money and didn't go in the officisl entrance #familytravel

Boulders penguin sanctuary

#summerbreak The Boulders Penguin Sanctuary can be found about one hour (by car) from the CBD area of Cape Town. It is a protected site to help conserve the penguins and is a great family attraction. You can walk on the boardwalks above the penguins to observe them without interrupting them. There is also a special area for the baby penguins that are growing up. There are lots of information stands around as well as a gift shop and toilets. #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Boulders Beach, just outside Cape Town, has so much going for it you will be blown away by the beauty of the small hidden attraction. The sheltered inlet of Boulders Beach is located in the Cape peninsula near Simon's Town. Here exists a protected colony of African penguins which can be viewed in their natural habitat via wooden walkways. There is also an excellent beach for swimming nearby.#penguin #capetown

Meeting all the penguins on the beach in Cape Town should be on your bucketlist!

Seeing penguins in the natural environment is much more comfortable than in a cage. The sidewalks are great for watching penguins in the jungle and beaches. Although overcrowded, it does not affect everyone's mood to watch the penguins. There is a little penguin who completely ignores human beings. When he wants to walk into the crowd, several children follow along the way, so that the power of the wild will restrain their hands from touching or hugging. For animal lovers, this is a very unique experience. Returning to the Cape Town from the Cape of Good Hope, you can get close to the penguins at Foxy Beach in Simon's Town, which can only be found on the coastline of southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). It is said that these penguins are currently on the verge of extinction, only about 2,000, so the penguins are protected by Cape Nature Conservation Tips Located about 3 km southeast of Simons Town, picturesque; Opening hours: April to September 8:00-17:00, October to November 8:00-18:30, December to January 7:00-19:30; Too close to a penguin, it is possible to be picked up by it, be careful; Tickets: Adult/Children/R60/R30.

Chilling with Penguins at Boulders Beach

When I was planning my trip to Cape Town, I made seeing penguins my top priority (envy from a lifelong Northern Hemispherean I guess). The adorable little critters certainly didn’t disappoint, but I was also quite impressed with the surrounding area of Simon’s Town in general. Stunningly picturesque little beach town. But back to the penguins! They smell awful but they are sooooooo cute

Wonderful and stunning Boulders beach in South Africa. Just around 2 hours from city center of Cape Town. Many penguins and top of that is that you can swim with them on one of two beaches. There is entry fee but reasonable. Enjoy your time, South Africa is amazing!!#penguin
