The city

What to expect from Simon's Town.

Simon's Town is the South African Navy town on False Bay, about 40 km from central Cape Town. The main street has Victorian houses, the naval harbor and the pier for sightseeing boats. Just to the south is Boulders, with the African penguin colony, and about 25 km along the peninsula is the tip with the Cape of Good Hope and the Cape Point lighthouse. On the way back toward the city are Kalk Bay and the colorful bathing huts of Muizenberg.
