Simon's Town, a charming seaside town in South Africa, is nestled on the shores of Simon's Bay in False Bay. Named after Governor Simon van der Stel, this historic town is home to Naval Base Simon's Town, the largest base of the South African Navy. With its picturesque setting and rich maritime history, Simon's Town offers attractions like Boulders Beach, where African penguins frolic among granite boulders, and landmarks such as the Martello Tower and the South African Naval Museum. Visitors can explore the quaint streets, enjoy the coastal views, and soak up the laid-back atmosphere of this coastal gem.
