Spend a day at Simon’s Town, a place brimming with culture. Its beaches and penguins and whales attract people to this town in Cape Town. Nestled on False Bay within easy distance of Cape Town International Airport, Simon’s Town is rich in history and culture. Make sure you visit Boulder’s Beach to see the penguins.
