Boulders Beach

5/5

Unmissable experience – penguins, scenery, and more! Boulders Beach is an absolute must-visit! Watching the penguins up close in their natural habitat was such a joy – they’re incredibly cute, waddling around, swimming, and even nesting. There’s a great mix of boardwalks and beach areas where you can observe them without disturbing their environment. The drive to Boulders Beach is equally amazing, with spectacular coastal views and plenty of scenic stops along the way. We took our time and explored some charming local markets and stalls — perfect for picking up crafts, snacks, and souvenirs. There are also a few lovely spots to grab a bite to eat, from fresh seafood to great coffee. One important tip: don’t lose your entrance receipt — there are spot checks between the different penguin viewing areas and you’ll need it to get through. Overall, a brilliant day out that’s fun, educational, and full of photo opportunities. Perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers!

Amazing place! You get to see African penguins up close in their natural habitat, just walking around or swimming in the waves. The boardwalk is well maintained. It’s clean, safe, and super family-friendly. Totally worth the entrance fee!

I'm a bit torn about our visit to see the penguins. Certainly, I was delighted to see them. They are adorable. Keeping people at some distance and protecting the penguins within the park is positive. However, the species is described as critically endangered, and stressors like the noise and presence of hundreds or even thousands of visitors each day must be a risk factor. I don't have an answer, but I'm grateful that I had an opportunity to see these beautiful creatures. June 30, 2025 C & J
