Simons Town at a glance
Simon's Town is a quaint, historical town nestled between the majestic Simonsberg mountains and the warm False Bay Ocean on the Cape's Southern Peninsula. Home to the South African Navy, one can see the working harbour and naval ships whilst travelling through the town to visit our many pristine beaches, the world-renowned penguin colony and the spectacular Cape Point.
Activities

There's also a short 9-hole golf course, the historical Naval Museum and Toy Museum. Simon's Town is home to many of South Africa's top tourist attractions such as the unspoilt Boulder's Beach, home to a large African penguin colony, Cape Point Nature Reserve and the Cape Point Vineyards.
