The penguins established themselves at Stony Point at Betty's Bay. It is not well sign posted but there are signs to Stony Point. It is off the R44 which is a lovely coastal road from Gordon's Bay to Hermanus rivaling Chapman's Peak drive for scenic beauty.
I believe it is far bigger and more natural than the penguins at Boulders at Simonstown. The area is quite large and the nests cover the entire area, some under the natural bush and some in "caves", some just seem to be totally unprotected and in the open. Watching the penguins make their way to the water is a treat as they are very comical and unintentionally so. They look like the original clowns on land and transform in water. The leaving and returning to land looks very difficult with the waves swirling the penguins around and onto the rocks but they take it all in their stride.

This bird colony is situated in one of the most beautiful and interesting seascapes along the African coast. It is the only area where mountains are found in such close proximity to the sea. Several sea birds breed in this colony, almost all of which are in decline.
All penguins are superbly adapted to a marine environment, where they use their flippers to propel themselves through the water, their feet acting as rudders. They can out-swim their many predators in the water, but are vulnerable to predation on land from a variety of foe, the main culprits being, the Large Spotted Genet. Genetta tigrina, the Small Grey Mongoose Gaberella pulverulenta,. Kelp Gull Larus domini canus, and Homo sapiens.
Penguins nests in burrows or small depressions that they dig out, usually under vegetation or rocks, they mate for life and both parents share the brooding and feeding duties. Breeding occurs between February and October, and the eggs, usually two, are incubated from about 40 days. Feeding of chicks is by regurgitation of small fish and continues for about 11 weeks. The larger chicks leave the nest and tend to congregate in creches, while their parents fish. The adults and some of the larger chicks moult between November and January. During this 19 to 20 day period, the birds cannot go to sea and have to fast for at least three weeks. Loosing about half their body weight. Penguins are easily disturbed by noise and sudden movements, but readily accept people who do not pose a threat.
