Why it's worth your time
Stony Point in Betty's Bay is a breeding colony of African penguins. It offers a more intimate and less crowded experience than the famous Boulders Beach in Simon's Town.
What we love
The wooden boardwalk that allows you to walk right through the nesting colony.
What to know
The penguins are wild animals; keep a respectful distance.
