Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach located in Simon's Town near Cape Town, South Africa. It is known for its population of African penguins, which have made the beach their home. The beach is surrounded by large granite boulders, which provide a habitat for the penguins and create a unique and beautiful landscape.

Visitors can walk along a boardwalk that takes them through the colony of penguins and provides views of the birds and their habitats. The beach and boardwalk are protected as part of the Table Mountain National Park, and a small entrance fee is charged to help preserve the habitat and protect the penguins.

In addition to penguins, Boulders Beach is also a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, with calm waters and soft sand. The beach is protected from strong winds and waves, making it a safe and comfortable place for families to visit.
