Boulders Beach in Simon's Town, South Africa, is famed for its colony of African penguins, offering a unique opportunity to observe these birds up close. The beach is family-friendly with safe swimming areas amidst the granite boulders, though strong currents may be present further out. Accessibility is generally good with boardwalks and viewing platforms; however, some areas may have limited wheelchair access. A solo visit is perfectly feasible and enjoyable, though guided tours can provide deeper insights into penguin behavior and conservation efforts. There are generally no seasonal restrictions, but the best viewing times are during the penguins' breeding season (February to August). The entry fee is approximately ZAR 170 for adults and ZAR 85 for children (prices subject to change). A typical visit lasts between 1 to 3 hours, depending on interest level and available time.
