Even though the South African Navy is based in Simon’s Town, it is different to many other “navy towns” in the world in that Simon’s Town is a beautiful, quaint and peaceful town. The town is nestled between the mountains forming part of the greater Table Mountain Nature Reserve and the sheltered False Bay.
Every now and then, residents enjoy watching one of the “local” Frigates or Sub-marines gliding across the bay alongside the yachts and kayaks sharing these waters.
