I have so much love for the wonderful Simon's Town! When most people visit Cape Town, they don't always make the time to explore Simon's Town and surrounds. I was in Cape Town a few weeks ago and I drove the roughly 40km from the city centre because this place holds a sentimental place in my heart! These four pictures I took will hopefully give you a glimpse into the beauty of Simon's Town alongside a bit more info from me.
✅ Simon's Town is the residence of the South African navy and steeped in nautical history - its cobbled streets come alive with restored cottages and homes, whilst the main road is an assortment of shops, coffee shops and restaurants.
✅ Simon’s Town’s historical mile, St George’s Street, has 21 buildings over 150 years’ old and includes a local museum, the navy museum and a toy museum.
✅ "Just Nuisance" is the world famous dog who was awarded the title of Able Seaman in the Royal Navy. A life size bronze statue of this legendary Great Dane stands proud in Jubilee Square in front of the hotel.
✅ Boulders Beach is home to an African penguin colony but I actually snapped the picture of them on Seaforth Beach.
I could tell you so much more but you have to go visit for yourself ❤️
