Penguins Bettys Bay

An abandoned Betty’s Bay Whaling Station site where 300 whales were once killed annually for their oil (from 1917 – 1930) now gives birth to new life as penguins naturally selected breeding ground. The circle of life is best observed just after sunrise or just before sunset when the birds return from their 20km fishing expedition. A wooden boardwalk takes visitors to Stoney Point nesting burrows while protecting the indigenous environment. Penguins breed throughout the year with a main breeding season being February.
