Beautiful beaches are scattered all around Cape Town, but one of its very best is actually located about an hour outside the city. A visit to this South African metropolis is incomplete if you don’t set some time aside to check out Boulders Beach, and here are three reasons why tourists can’t get enough of it.

Penguin Watching

Boulders Beach has been home to a colony of African penguins since 1982, and they helped it become a huge sensation. The majority of tourists coming to this beach are here to observe these birds in their natural habitat, and there’s even a separate penguin viewing area if you’re in the mood for some penguin watching.

Water Sports

Even if it wasn’t for the penguins, Boulders would still be one of the most beautiful beaches near Cape Town, with a wide range of activities worth exploring during your visit. You can go swimming or snorkeling in its crystal clear waters or enjoy show-stopping views from its boardwalks.

Surrounding Attractions

Boulders Beach is located on the grounds of Table Mountain National Park, so it’s a good idea to explore some of the surrounding attractions during your visit. The nearby Simon’s Town is a good place to start, but you can also head to Cape of Good Hope if you don’t want to spend a full day at the beach.

South Africa probably isn’t the first country you think of when someone mentions penguins, but a colony of these adorable birds truly call it home. Boulders Beach became one of the top day-trip destinations from Cape Town thanks to the group of African penguins that inhabit it.

A colony of African penguins settled on the shores of Boulders Beach in 1982, transforming it into one of South Africa’s top tourist attractions over the course of the next four decades. There are between 3,000 birds roaming around the beach and their species is on the verge of extinction.

That’s why Boulders Beach is under Cape Nature Conservation’s protection and the penguins can be seen roaming freely in their natural environment. Foxy Beach is the best place to observe them because it offers boardwalks taking you just a few meters away from the birds.

Located about an hour away from Cape Town, Boulders Beach can be easily accessed by car, or by a train heading to the nearby Simon’s Town. Daily conservation and entry fee for adults is priced at around $10, but it’s important to keep in mind that you shouldn’t come too close to the penguins or try feeding them.
