Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, is renowned for its stunning scenery and unique wildlife. This sheltered beach is part of the Table Mountain National Park and is famous for its colony of African penguins, which have been residents since 1982. Visitors can enjoy the sight of these charming birds up close, thanks to well-constructed boardwalks that provide excellent viewing opportunities while protecting their natural habitat. The beach itself is named for the large granite boulders that are scattered across the sand and in the water, creating calm, clear swimming areas ideal for families.
