Swakopmund & Sandwich Harbour
Where the dunes drop into the Atlantic
Swakopmund offers a cool coastal break: Bavarian-influenced streets, a palm-lined promenade and good seafood. South of Walvis Bay, Sandwich Harbour is a UNESCO-recognised wilderness where 100-metre dunes fall straight into the surf, reached only by 4x4 at low tide. The Swakop River canyon nearby has climbing and bouldering.
