Penguin paradise and an unforgettable experience. Penguins pretty much only occur in the Southern Hemisphere and the African penguin is a very localized species that usually nest on islands. However at Boulder's beach, you have the opportunity to get up close and into the colony. These birds are present here all year round, so it is a guaranteed attraction and a great way to experience this part of the coast. If its a hot summer's day, then the beach next door is a perfect spot for a swim if you can handle the usually cold water. It might be worth it though as the penguins love this beach too and often swim right past you!
