Stony Point Nature Reserve

Stony Point Nature Reserve is a coastal wildlife reserve in Betty’s Bay, Western Cape, best known for its historic African Penguin breeding colony, one of the few mainland colonies in South Africa. Here you can see these charming, vulnerable birds living in their natural habitat, along with other seabirds and small coastal wildlife. What to See & Do: African Penguins: Walk on a raised boardwalk right through the colony to observe penguins going about their daily activities without disturbing them. Bird & Wildlife Spotting: In addition to penguins, look out for cormorants (Crowned, Cape & Bank), gulls, and playful Rock Hyrax (dassies) on the rocks. Scenic Setting: The reserve is set on the site of the old Waaygat Whaling Station, with remnants of historical infrastructure and spectacular coastal views. Community Café/Restaurant: There’s a local eatery near the entrance where you can enjoy refreshments and meals before or after your walk.
