These rocks are named after the rounded boulders which provide a wonderful swimming beach, with shelter from the mischievous South Easter wind should it blow. Here, you can have the unique experience of swimming with the Jackass (African) penguin. You'll find the main penguin colony at Foxy Beach next to the swimming beach where there is an attractive boardwalk. The friendly Park staff will be happy to answer any questions.
