Simons Town

Education With One Incredible Outlook

Simon’s Town School has been part of the community since 1815, making it the fifth-oldest school in the Western Cape and the oldest in the Cape Peninsula.

The combined school accommodates learners from Grade R through Grade 12 and overlooks False Bay Harbour from the slopes above town.

Families can also access additional schools throughout the greater Southern Peninsula.

Your Weekends May Never Be the Same

There are very few places where African penguins are part of the neighbourhood.

Boulders Beach is home to the famous African penguin colony and offers boardwalk viewing, sheltered swimming, rock pools and picnic opportunities.

From the Simon’s Town waterfront you can head out on kayaking adventures, whale- and dolphin-watching trips, Seal Island cruises and marine excursions.

Back on land, explore the Historic Mile, Simon’s Town Museum, SA Naval Museum and Warrior Toy Museum, visit the famous Just Nuisance statue on Jubilee Square or settle down for seafood overlooking the harbour.

And when you want to explore further, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Scarborough, Kommetjie and the rest of the spectacular Southern Peninsula are waiting.

Why Simon’s Town?

Because life beside the sea should feel different.

Here, naval history meets penguins, mountains meet the ocean and village life meets one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country.

Simon’s Town doesn't feel like another Cape Town suburb.

It feels like somewhere you escaped to — and then decided never to leave.
