Seeing The Penguins at Boulder Beach

VISITING BOULDER BEACH

If you ever dreamed of getting close and personal to wild penguins, South Africa is a great place to do it.

HOW TO GET TO BOULDER BEACH

Located about 40 minutes from Cape Town, Boulder Beach is very easy to get to by car, but being able to stand next to penguins is not as simple.

MIDDLE BEACH

There are several beaches at Boulder Beach, but the one you want to visit is Middle Beach. It requires you to crawl under and over a couple of boulders.

SEEING THE PENGUINS

Once you do this, you will be greeted with penguins on the beach (usually!). They are wild animals, so the amount of penguins can vary.

ENJOY THE BEACH

The beach itself at Middle Beach is also lovely, so you can plan on spending some time here.

FOXY BEACH

Another place that is just on the other side is Foxy Beach. This is a protected area for the Penguins and usually has larger colonies in this area.
