Overview
3About Simon's Town
Simon's Town is a scenic 35 km drive from Cape Town along the M4, hugging False Bay past Muizenberg and Fish Hoek, a favourite day trip for locals and a must-do stop for anyone touring the peninsula to Cape Point. Home to the SA Navy base since the 1800s, it's calmer than the Atlantic side thanks to False Bay's shelter. Two fast EV chargers are on hand, and just outside town, Boulders Beach lets you walk right up to a colony of African penguins on the open sand.
