The picturesque suburb of Simon’s Town is nestled in False Bay, Cape Town. Simon’s Town is significant in terms of its nautical history and is still home to the South African navy. Part of Simon’s Town’s history is the bronze statue of ‘Just Nuisance’ which stands in Jubilee Square. Just Nuisance was a famous Great Dane who was awarded the title of Able Seaman in the navy.
Simon’s Town has a quaint village feel with many cobbled streets and old cottages. It is superb to visit during the early and late winter months, as it is north facing, getting the warm winter sun.
Jubilee Square, home to the famous Just Nuisance statue, is also a vibrant area filled with little shops and restaurants. It has beautiful views overlooking the harbour and is a perfect place to take a stroll next to the sea, or sit down, have a coffee and take in the spectacular view.
It is only natural that such a historical town be filled with fabulous museums. The South African Naval Museum is a museum which showcases Simon’s Town’s rich naval history. This museum is great if you are interested in ships and submarines, their weapons and equipment. The museum is part of the South African Navy and is staffed by naval personnel.

One of Simon’s Town’s most notable attractions is Boulders Beach, known for its large penguin colony. Boulders is perfect for a leisurely swim between the rocks, family picnics on the beach or strolling on the walkways while observing the penguin life. These African penguins are endangered so make sure you are cautious while in their environment. Other family friendly beaches to visit in the area include Seaforth, Long Beach, Fisherman’s Beach and Windmill Beach.
The Black Marlin Restaurant is well known for its delicious seafood. During summer you can enjoy al fresco dining in the garden, or enjoy a fabulous lunch or dinner indoors. From July to December you might even be lucky enough to do some whale watching while enjoying your meal.
For afternoon tea why not try Simon’s Town’s quaint little patisserie, The Sweetest Thing, for truly sumptious cakes, pastries and pies.
