Review & FAQ:
On the eastern edge of the Cape Peninsula and less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town is Simon's Town , a coastal village that is the proud home of the South African Navy. Visitors to Simon’s Town will find beautiful, colorful architecture surrounded by the rocky slopes of mountains. Nearby are the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and all the occupants of it, like whales, penguins, and a diverse number of birds. For a taste of local history and culture, you can visit the South African Naval Museum, the Toy Museum, or Simon’s Town Museum, and for some exploration in nature, there’s the stunning beauty of Table Mountain National Park.
