Boulders
Beach is situated just after the naval port and
picturesque village of Simons’s Town. The
beach is situated in a small cove, well protected
from the wind by the granite boulders. This is
a quaint little beach which has calm water to swim
in and snorkelling is a very popular activity.
It’s a great beach to take a good book and
laze about in the summer sun. Boulders Beach has
a very healthy population of African Penguins who
have chosen the beach as their home and breeding
ground. To view the penguins you will have to walk
past the main beach and follow the boardwalk to
the designated penguin beach. The cost to visit
the beach is R15 for Adults and R5 for SA Scholars
and Pensioners. (Please note that these prices
are subject to change without notice).
