Casey “Nomadic Nolan” Nolan My visit to Boulder's Beach in South Africa was nothing short of magical. From the moment I set foot on the beach, I was captivated by the breathtaking scenery and the unique charm of this extraordinary location. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the penguins. Seeing so many of them up close in their natural habitat was an experience I will never forget. These adorable creatures waddled around the beach, unbothered by the presence of visitors, and provided endless entertainment. Watching them interact, swim, and bask in the sun was a delightful and heartwarming sight. Another mesmerizing aspect of Boulder's Beach is witnessing the meeting of the two oceans. The convergence of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans creates a stunning visual treat, with the distinct hues of the two bodies of water blending and contrasting in the most spectacular way. The division of the waters, marked by a visible line, was a phenomenon I had only heard about but never imagined seeing in person. It was truly awe-inspiring. The serene and pristine environment of Boulder's Beach added to the overall experience. The clear blue waters, smooth boulders, and soft sand create a picturesque setting that feels like a hidden paradise. The beach is well-maintained, and the efforts to preserve the natural habitat of the penguins are evident, making it a responsible and enjoyable destination for nature lovers. Overall, my visit to Boulder's Beach was an unforgettable adventure. The chance to see penguins in their natural environment and witness the incredible meeting of two oceans made it a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Boulder's Beach to anyone visiting South Africa – it's a unique and extraordinary experience that should not be missed.
Fragonard Cross Close at 5 pm. Penguins also told us to leave their space that time since they wanna enjoy the sunset by themselves... And we're so selfish to care. Then we enjoy the sunset with them, quietly. 🫠
Harish A Penguin Paradise with a Pricey View. While I was initially thrilled to see penguins up close, the hefty entrance fee at Boulders Beach didn't quite match the experience. Although there are a few designated viewing spots, you mainly see the penguins from afar. The free alternative route near the ticket office offers similar distant views. That said, seeing these adorable creatures freely roaming the beach was still a unique and enjoyable experience. However, more viewing platforms closer to the penguins would have made the visit even more worthwhile.
Яна Торбова There are two entrances - you can buy your ticket here. Entering via the first one, you reach the beach accessible for people coming here to sun-bath. We were hoping to see here penguins along with people. We had no luck. However the second entrance was very rewarding - we saw many penguins from the platform. They are not allowed to be disturbed so please, just admire them. A free parking available on spot.
John Magno We had about 40 minutes to explore the penguin habitat on our day excursion. We enjoyed seeing the penguins living their best lives! We saw some swimming, sunbathing, napping, walking, taking care of babies, and doing penguin things. We like how the boardwalk is elevated, so as to not disturb the daily life of the penguins. We liked how the boardwalk offered different views of the many areas the penguins were. The beach, sand, rocks & water were stunning. Great photography spot to begin with...the penguins were a great added bonus!!! Thank you and your organization for looking out for these beautiful animals!!!
