Boulders Beach:

Boulders Beach, often referred to as just boulders, is situated in the picturesque town of Simon’s Town. Boulders Beach which is made up of both Boulders and Foxy beach, is one of the best-known attractions in Cape Town and is most famous for its granite boulders, penguin colony and swimming area. The granite boulders, estimated to be about 450 million years old, protects the beach from severe weather and therefore provides a safe haven for the penguin colony and makes for a fantastic day on the beach.

Visitors can EXPERIENCE the endangered African penguin in its natural habitat whilst EXPLORING the amazing beaches and ancient boulders. Boulders Beach and the African Penguins can be visited all year round. There are two entrances, one at Foxy Beach and one at Boulders Beach. Visitors only need to pay once to enter either of these areas. Foxy beach provides the best viewing spots and offers wheelchair friendly boardwalks between viewing points. Foxy beach is home to approximately 2100 endangered African Penguins and is one of only breeding Colonies in South Africa. The African penguin is also known as the Jack ass penguin as the sound it makes mimics that of a donkey.

Private Cape Peninsular Day Tour Just Safaris Activity Type: Day Tours Location: City Centre, Cape Town, Western Cape The Cape Peninsula stretches over 52km’s (32.3mi) and is littered with bustling and breath-taking seaside towns like the famous Camps Bay and Hout Bay. We spend the day exploring the Peninsula making photo stops at every opportunity. Chapmans Peak was built between 1915 and 1922 with the use of convict labour. It offers a 180-degree panoramic view and is a sightseer’s dream. It leads into the small naval town of Simons Town that is home to the Boulders beach penguin colony. After a visit here we make our way to the Cape Point national park for a short walk to the most South Westerly point on the African continent. We make our way back to the city via Scarborough and Misty cliffs that acquired its name because of the constant mist that hangs over the small town for most of the year. from R3500/ person Possibly Available
