Skip the touristy bit with the penguin walk in favor of the beach . The penguins chill there too and you can get right up close to them with thousands of tourists

Please check under your cars for penguins before you drive off.

Make sure to go to the beach area as well as the national park . After going past a few boulders, you can swim with penguins to your heart's content.

I have never been there, but! I saw the Whale Safari (seasonal tour ) video. It's amazing! Press "Read more" to see that. And I like the Diving with white sharks. Read more

Stay a safe distance from the penguins , they don't like being disturbed. Bring a zoom lens to take great pictures!

David Owen Morgan

At low tide, dare to crawl between and scramble along boulders for quiet shady nooks at the far end of the beach .

Liam Beattie

Don't go to Boulders. Gets waaay packed. Windmill beach down the short road below golf course to the right is where its at! ;)

AJ D

Incredible Large Boulders and the Pounding Surf make for scenery.

Jerry Darko

Penguins everywhere, all over the beach . Really cool and unique. Must-see if you're visiting Cape Town

Cool to see the African Penguins . I wanted to get closer. It’s a stop and go kinda stop.

Julianna Jones

If you want to sit on the beach , don't go at high tide. There won't be any beach left. But this is a perfect place for swimming , and the penguins are right there with you!

Rick Nijhuis

Penguins ! See them up close but from a viewing platform though...

One of the most beautiful spots around Cape Town , but veeery crowded on weekends. It's a small paradise!
