If you're a fan of penguins, head to Boulders Beach. About 40 kilometers south of Cape Town near the pretty village of Simon's Town on the way to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, this beach is home to a large colony of endangered African penguins. The beach is set between large granite boulders on the False Bay coastline, so the water is slightly warmer here if you want to swim.If you're a fan of penguins, head to Boulders Beach.

The beach is long and wide and easy to access, although parking can be difficult on summer weekends when it gets very crowded - take public transport or an Uber to not have to worry about finding a spot to park. It is just across the road from a string of restaurants and cafés, making it easy to grab lunch between sunbathing sessions. Camps Bay also has great views of the Twelve Apostles and Lion's Head.
