Boulders Beach and the penguin colonyBoulders Beach is just around the corner from the seaside village of Simon's Town. But the main reason to visit this beach, is the fact that you will be sharing it with African penguins.These penguins, formerly known as Jackass penguins (the braying sound they make, sounds like that of a donkey) make their nests in the vegetation next to the beach. Don't touch or feed the penguins. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and they will bite if they feel threatened.
What to doBoulders Visitor Centre Editorial Comment: If you had to ask me if it is worth visiting I won't hesitate to urge you to visit. If you have small children, you must definitely go show them. Onthou om vroeg te gaan as jy na die strandjie toe wil gaan, want dit is maar taamlik beknop. Ek gee dit aan as 'n "top tip" hier bo, maar slaan ag daarop, want met die "wild" kaart kan jy sommer baie geld spaar.
