BOULDERS BEACH
Humans ⛔... This is our beach!
~
Finalmente siamo noi umani a stare in gabbia, questa è la loro spiaggia! Anni fa Boulders Beach era aperta al pubblico, e quando l'essere umano ha troppa libertà se ne approfitta sempre vero? E quindi il risultato è stato, costruire delle passerelle e vietare l'accesso alla spiaggia, proteggendo questa meravigliosa colonia di pinguini africani.

On the way home from cape point we stopped at boulders beach. We saw penguins walking around and already fell in love. We were nearing sunset and the tide was high, so we We went decided to come back the following day at low tide. And I’m so glad we did! We got to walk along the beach and watch these little guys own the beach. The weather was much warmer without the wind, but a still a little chilly to swim. Although there were a few people in the water.
This place is called Boulder’s Beach....for obvious reasons. And it’s such a unique beach. Seeing these penguins love the beach more than the snow made me love them even more. •

Very Touristy. The boardwalk is full of people but views the large colonies. Walking on the beach was a little less crowded. You can bring towels and umbrellas and make it a real beach day.

About 1 hour drive from Cape Town. We drove a rental car but many tours stop here.

These used to be called Jackass penguins because their calls sound like the bray of a donkey. The African penguin is now considered endangered
Average size is 2 ft tall and 8lbs
They are cute. But wild. Don’t let them. They will bite you.
Both parents help incubate the eggs which are usually laid in pairs. And then both feed the child

It's African Penguin Awareness Day, and it looks like these birds have already dressed up to celebrate!
Since 3M Penguins of the African Coast habitat opened in 2011 the Minnesota Zoo has successfully hatched 24 African penguin chicks.
Like many penguin species, African penguins are endangered. They can be found off the southern coast of Africa either in the cold ocean water, or on the warm beaches, where they mate, nest and raise their young.
