Boulders us a very scenic area not far from Cape Town and it makes for a very nice, picturesque drive from town. The main reason you'd go of course is to see the colony of diminutive penguins. Thry are very plentiful on the rocky beach...More

Walked down to the beach to view the penguins in their habitat. It was wonderful seeing so many of them and their young chicks

Boulders Beach is a big penguin exhibit. We enjoyed watching the penguins and taking their pictures. I read that people and penguins swim together, but I did not see how people could get into the water and near the penguins. Maybe it's different in the...More
