With a diverse selection of Simon's Town accommodation establishments on offer, your stay in the region will be an unforgettable one. This maritime naval town is home to the African Penguin  colony at Boulders Beach where humans and penguins share the sand and the sea. The swimming is fabulous – flat, calm and the warmest water in Cape Town as it is protected by giant boulders. The main entrance to the Boulders Penguin Colony is at Seaforth Beach, with a boardwalk leading through the nesting area.

The area known as the "Historical Mile”, is the heart of the town, boasting a great variety of architecturally interesting buildings, good restaurants (seafood is the speciality), antique shops  and fine walks. Boat trips head off in different directions from the Simon’s Town jetty. These range from 40 minute harbour cruises, voyages to Seal Island in the middle of False Bay or down to spectacular Cape Point itself. Book a whale watching boat trip for a close encounter with the gentle giants of the sea. You can even get closer to the water in a stable sea kayak  that leaves from the Simon’s Town jetty and can give you the edge on penguin viewing.

From Simon's Town, it's a short distance to Mineral World where you can "scratch" for your favourite gems and experience the magic of minerals. There is a vast array of Accommodation in Simon’s Town so do call for advice.
