Description
African penguin walking on Boulders Beach near Simonstown, South Africa.
Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located in the Cape Peninsula, near Simon's Town towards Cape Point, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay and is a popular tourist stop because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa - (South Africa & Namibia). The penguins are currently on the verge of extinction so are now under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
