There aren’t many places in the world where you can get up close and personal with penguins, swim near them, and sunbathe with them... but at Boulder's Beach you can!
This beach located at Simon’s Town in South Africa, with its wind sheltered bays and safe sandy shores, is home to a breeding colony of over 2000 endangered African Penguins.

The African Penguin is the only penguin species that breeds in Africa, and it is found nowhere else. Its distribution coincides roughly with the cold, nutrient rich, Benguela Current. The distribution of African Penguins is further determined by the availability of offshore islands as breeding sites.
