Boulders Beach

About

Nestled along the picturesque Cape Peninsula, Boulders Beach is a hidden gem that offers visitors a unique and enchanting experience. This sheltered cove boasts pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters, framed by massive granite boulders that give the beach its distinctive character. But what truly sets this coastal paradise apart is its most famous residents: a thriving colony of African penguins. These charismatic birds waddle freely along the shore, delighting visitors with their comical antics and providing unparalleled photo opportunities. A wooden boardwalk winds through the area, allowing guests to observe the penguins up close without disturbing their natural habitat. Whether you're seeking a tranquil spot for sunbathing, a refreshing dip in the protected waters, or an unforgettable wildlife encounter, Boulders Beach promises a memorable day out for nature lovers and families alike.
