Simons Town

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
Simon's Town boasts a quiet village ambience and encourages an outdoor leisure lifestyle. Due to the warmer water temperature in False Bay, Simon's Town is the ideal hub for aquatic activities. Yachting, diving, snorkelling, paddle skiing and wind foil surfing are commonly enjoyed in the Bay and for those looking for more sedate activities you have the option of a gentle water bike tour around the harbour or a relaxing hike on one of the many hiking trails. 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. The village of Simon's Town is bustling with coffee bars, pubs, restaurants, art galleries, and clothing stores. Both the Country Club and Yacht Club are enjoyed by residents and visitors.  For those wanting to be out of the centre of the town, the Rocklands Farm is a welcome retreat.
