The waters on the Atlantic side are too cold for swimming and snorkeling, but the waters on the False Bay side of the peninsula are warm, calm and clear – perfect for snorkeling. St. James, Kalk Bay and Simon’s Town are great spots to explore. Fish Hoek is known for it’s clear, calm water. Boulders Beach has sheltered water spots that are perfect for snorkeling. The area around Boulders and Seaforth is dotted with countless coves, bays and tidal pools for snorkelers to enjoy. High season in Cape Town runs from November to January, but great weather extends into February and March.
