Boulders Beach



After lunch we headed on towards Cape Point. A few kms down the road take a left at the second Penguin sign you see and TA DA there it is..... BOULDERS BEACH.
This used to be the best kept local secret but someone told someone and now there is a lovely kiosk charging R25 to let you onto the beach to see the jackass penguins. Who's the jackass?
Poor tourists being ripped off again. Now don't tell anyone I told you but... If you go in the early evening entry is free and you will see the penguins coming back from their hard days fishing.

If you have to go during the day, park your car and head back towards the entrance of the parking area where you will see a little wooden gate. Go through it and there are penguins there too. Not the three thousand there are around the corner but enough to take some very decent snaps and of course it is far less smelly!

All these photos were taken on the free side of the beach!

There is a link in the title again.

Geez just look at them, so cuuuuute!! Hope you said hello from me.
I'm so glad you had such an amazing trip.
And - by the way - you should seriously think about becoming a tour guide, you really have the 'knack'...
