Once threatened by extinction, there are nowadays 3000 breeding pairs of African Penguins living and nesting here.
The Beach is protected by huge round granite boulders. Seamed by Milkwood thicket, providing the penguins with an ideal breeding habitat.

Visiting Boulder's Beach to see penguins in the wild
Travel blogger, Heather McKay talks about how to visit Boulder's Beach to see and swim with wild penguins in South Africa.
????????????✈ learn how I got my cheap flight to Africa for $82 by downloading my Free Flight Guide:
Africa, I changed my plans and ended up driving the Garden Route in South Africa instead of a full week in Cape Town (more about that later). One main highlight with the redirect was visiting Boulder's Beach to see penguins in the wild!
Exploring southern Africa was an entirely new experience for me and now I feel like I've seen almost all of South Africa.
The last time I was in South Africa was when I did a Photographer's Safari and that trip also entailed a ton of driving. At that time I saw most of North central and Eastern South Africa.
My Garden Route itinerary was:
✈ fly into George, rent a car, drive to Knysna for 2-nights
???? a night in Froeschhoek wine valley
???? a night in Simon's Town
???? drive Cape Point and Chapman's Peak to Cape Town.
???? 4 nights in Cape Town
When I arrived in the early morning, I guess I was still a bit sleepy. There are two parts to Boulder's Beach and I wish I'd known this ahead of time.
A beach/swimming entrance.
The main entrance for the boardwalk in and around the park
I parked in the southern parking lot, next to the beach access point. That's the entrance I went in. This was a bit of a waste of time.
You see, it was kinda chilly for swimming and I didn't bring swim stuff. However, I entered the entrance for swimming with the penguins and paid that extra fee.
It's a great spot though if you want to hang out on a small beach and swim or climb around the boulders. There were a few penguins there, but not many. When my sister went, there were a lot more.
More adventurous kids were climbing all around and on the boulders, sunbathing on top of them, and fully exploring the area. I was wearing hiking boots, so I didn't get too far.
