Parent Review: Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
A sheltered beach in Simon’s Town where African penguins waddle freely, with boardwalks and a small sandy beach for swimming.
We visited on a weekday morning and found it perfectly manageable with a double stroller. Here’s what stood out and what to watch for.
