Family Friendly Beaches

Boulders Beach, Simonstown
Boulders beach is tucked away in a cove near Simonstown on the False Bay coastline. This beautiful sandy beach is safe for swimming with no dangerous currents due to its tucked away location. Boulders is also well known for its land-based colony of African Penguins. Don't touch or feed the penguins. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose.

Opening hours:
Winter: 08h00 – 17h00
Summer: 07h00 – 19h30 (December & January)  
              08h00 – 18h00 (February & March)

Kleintuin Road, Sea Forth, Simons Town
