Boulders Beach
Boulder's, which is part of the Table Mountain National Park, is home to a sizeable colony of African penguins (previously called jackass penguins). These cute and comical birds waddle around quite unperturbed by the hordes of tourists who flock towards them. A swim in the calm, warm waters of Boulders Beach is always fun on a hot summer day.

Robben Island
During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional brutality. The duty of those who ran the Island and its prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs. Some of the x-prisoners are now employed as guides on the Robben Island tours. You can book and take a tour from the V & A waterfront
