- Boulders Beach Penguin Colony - Boulders Beach, located near Simon’s Town, offers a lot of attractions: the ancient granite boulders shield it from the wind and large waves, making it a perfect swimming spot for children. The beach is consistently clean and safe, as it is part of the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. It is seldom crowded, and children will be thrilled by the beautiful rock pools. However, the soft white sand and warm(ish) waters are not the only reasons why 60,000 visitors annually travel along the coast, past Simon’s Town, to Boulders Beach. The local residents—thousands of African penguins—are a major draw for the crowds.
- Hout Bay - Hout Bay (Afrikaans: Houtbaai, meaning “Wood Bay”) is a harbor town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is nestled in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometers south of Cape Town. The term “Hout Bay” can refer to the town, the bay it is situated on, or the entire valley.
Originally, the area consisted of two farms, which were gradually subdivided to accommodate urban growth. While still retaining its rural charm, Hout Bay now has over 5,960 residences with a population of at least 17,900 people (as of 2011).
This is the busiest fishing village, and from here, one can connect to Duiker Island, which boasts a thriving population of over 4,000 seals. A 30-minute boat ride offers a breathtaking scenic experience.
- Simon’s Town - Simon’s Town (Afrikaans: Simonstad), sometimes spelled Simonstown, is a town in the Western Cape, South Africa, and hosts Naval Base Simon’s Town, the largest base of the South African Navy. It is situated on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For over two centuries, it has served as a naval base and harbor (initially for the British Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony.
Relax and enjoy the charming little town by the beach, place an order, and savor the local fish, the yellowtail.
- Muizenberg - Muizenberg (/ˈmjuːzənbɜːrɡ/ MEW-zən-burg, Dutch for “mice mountain”) is a seaside town in the Western Cape, South Africa. It is located where the Cape Peninsula’s shore curves eastward on the False Bay coast. It is regarded as the main surfing destination in Cape Town and is currently home to a vibrant surfing community centered around the popular ‘Surfer’s Corner’.
With numerous colorful houses on the beach, it is highly desirable.
