Seal Island - False Bay, Cape Town
Seal Island - False Bay, Cape Town
Seal Island, situated in False Bay off the coast of Cape Town, is a small rocky outcrop famous for its dense population of Cape fur seals. Approximately 75 000 seals gather here year-round, making the island one of the most important breeding grounds for these marine mammals in the region. This vast congregation of seals naturally attracts great white sharks, turning Seal Island into a prime spot for shark activity, especially in the winter months. Shark breaching – where sharks launch themselves out of the water to catch seals – is a breathtaking phenomenon that has been documented extensively at this location, drawing global attention.
Beyond its reputation for great whites, Seal Island is a haven for seabirds and other marine life, offering visitors a rich ecological experience. The surrounding waters teem with various fish species, kelp forests, and occasionally, even dolphins and whales pass by, making it a fascinating site for wildlife tours. Boat tours regularly depart from Simon's Town, offering visitors a closer look at both the seals and sharks, with knowledgeable guides explaining the ecosystem and animal behaviors that make this island unique.
Seal Island plays an essential role in False Bay’s marine biodiversity and is one of the few places in the world where visitors can observe such dramatic interactions between seals and sharks. However, as a protected marine environment, it is essential for all tours and visitors to respect regulations that aim to preserve the area’s delicate ecological balance.
