▲ Located on the eastern coast of Cape Town, South Africa, Simon's Town is home to a small bay called "Boulders," which serves as the famous penguin sanctuary of South Africa. Initially, there were only two pairs of penguins here, but under the protection of local residents, their numbers have steadily increased. The main attraction here is the African penguin, a smaller species among penguins, distinguished by their black rings and small black spots on their chests, along with adorable pink eye rings.
▲ Duiker Island is a small island located in Hout Bay, renowned for its large population of seals and seagulls. The Cape fur seal is a native species of southern Africa, breeding along the coastlines of South Africa and Namibia. They can reach speeds of up to 17 km per hour. The island is just a few km away from Hout Bay Harbour, and visitors can only observe the seals by taking a cruise around the island, as landing on the island is not permitted.
▲ The Cape of Good Hope, initially named as such, is a famous promontory located at the southwestern tip of Africa. It is a landmark of Cape Town and the meeting point of the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Standing atop the hill, you can not only enjoy the breathtaking sea views but also gaze at the nearby Cape of Good Hope. The Cape marks the boundary between the cold Atlantic Ocean currents and the warm Indian Ocean currents. You can observe a distinct line dividing the light blue and dark blue waters—the Indian Ocean lies to your left, while the Atlantic Ocean is to your right.
