Boulders Penguin Colony
Boulders Penguin Colony is located on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa, near Simon’s Town. It is famous for its population of African penguins, also known as Jackass penguins due to their donkey-like braying calls. The colony is situated on Boulders Beach, which is known for its large, smooth boulders that create sheltered coves and tidal pools.
The African penguins here are a major attraction for visitors, and the colony has become an important site for conservation efforts. The area provides a unique opportunity to observe these penguins in their natural habitat, where they can be seen swimming, nesting, and interacting. There are also boardwalks and viewing platforms that allow visitors to get close to the penguins while minimizing disturbance.
