Stony point nature reserve

Penguin colony in Bettys Bay

This penguin colony lies on the site of the old Waaygat Whaling Station, which was used to harvest and process whale meat in the early to mid-1900s. Remnants of the infrastructure for this long-defunct industry can still be found at the site.

There are also three species of cormorant; the Crowned cormorant, Cape cormorant, and Bank cormorant, all of which breed on the outer rocks.  Hartlaub’s Gulls and Kelp Gulls also forage in the colony, while the Rock Hyrax, more commonly known as the Dassie, can be seen on the surrounding rocks.
