Foxy Beach is the main penguin sanctuary at Boulders Penguin Colony. Wheelchair-friendly boardwalks let you watch the animals safely.
Foxy Beach holds the highest concentration of the 2,000 to 3,000 endangered African penguins in the sanctuary. You must stay strictly on the designated wooden boardwalks to protect their nesting burrows.
The SANParks entrance gates are 100% cashless. Bring a bank card to pay the entry fee. From the gate, elevated paths guide you over the sand and coastal scrubland.

This wheelchair-accessible timber path leads to a 180-degree panoramic observation deck. It overlooks the central white-sand amphitheater where hundreds of penguins gather. Bring a camera with a zoom lens to capture close-up shots without leaving the path.
10-15 minutesQuiet zone required
These intimate side paths branch off the main boardwalk into the coastal scrubland. You can observe artificial fiberglass burrows installed to protect breeding penguins from heat and predators. Keep your voice low in this sensitive nesting zone.
