Boulders beach is a beach made up of granite boulders around. It's famous in Cape Town because of colony of penguins which settled down there in 1982. There are more than 1000 penguins in the beach at the moment. The name of the penguins is African penguins or formally named as 'Jackass Penguins' and they can grow up to 68-70cm tall and weigh between 2 and 5kg. They were just left to roam around the beaches without any disturbance from the public. Practically, they are harmless, but they will bite if you're too near to them...
