False BayTown
Simon's Town
A naval harbour town on False Bay, the closest base for the Boulders penguins.
Why it’s worth it
Simon's Town centres on its harbour and is the nearest town to Boulders Beach, which sits between it and Cape Point. Main Road has shops and restaurants, and Bertha's sits on the quay. It makes a sensible base for a half day on the southern peninsula.
