Boulders Beach

 
Three of us on the rocks at Boulders
 The Jackass Penguins may be seen along a foot path from Seaforth to Boulders Beach.  At Boulders Beach there is a big penguin colony.  This beach is on the coast of  False Bay.  The penguins only moved to Boulders in 1985.  The penguins moved to Boulders because of the huge amount of fish there.  People have to pay to get into Boulders because it costs a lot of money to save the penguins and to make foot paths and fences.
