Parking & Transport

Parking in Simon’s Town can be a challenge. We recommend car-sharing where possible, a taxi service, or even the trains, although they are infrequent. (Check the train times for park and ride options at Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, and Glencairn).

On-the-Go is a local taxi service which is reasonably priced. Phone 068 403 0278, or 079 486 4228.

Look out for the two Hakuna Matuktuk vehicles with Books on the Bay flags. They will carry festival-goers free of charge from the parking areas (excluding Harbour Bay) to the centre of town or the museum, as well as between venues.

Parking is available at the following locations in Simon’s Town:

Long Beach (enter next to Simon’s Town station)

Any available bay on Queens Road

Anywhere on Runciman Drive (for the fit and able, stairs!) 

The Quayside and Jubilee Square
