Best Time and Tips to See 1000 Penguins at Boulders Beach in Cape Town
After arriving at the car park most people head to the right to join the queue at the visitor centre ticket office. Alternatively, veer left to make your way to the beach and see how bathers and penguins happily share sand and sea.
Unlike their smaller Australian cousins, the fairy penguins at St. Kilda https://www.besttime2travel.com/st-kilda, who rarely show themselves before the late afternoon, the African penguins at Boulders Beach can be found basking in the sun in numbers during the day. Very convenient for tourists!
And you can find them wandering in the locals' gardens too (below).
