Skeleton Coast earned the notorious nicknames “the land God made in anger” and “the gates of hell” due to its harsh conditions, but that didn’t stop it from becoming one of Namibia’s most popular tourist attractions. Here are a few reasons why people can’t resist this hauntingly beautiful place.
Surfing Paradise
Skeleton Bay is one of Namibia’s prime surfing locations, and you can attend all sorts of activities connected to this water sport, from surfing safaris to surfing lessons for beginners.
Shipwreck Watching
It’s no coincidence that this part of Namibia is known as Skeleton Coast. Animal bones and shipwrecks are scattered all across its coastline, making it a paradise for photographers and adrenaline junkies. You can explore Skeleton Coast’s amazing desert landscapes, coastal wildlife, and historic shipwrecks by joining a safari adventure.
Seal Colonies
Skeleton Coast is home to many baboons, giraffes, lions, rhinoceros, and other animals, but not everyone comes here to explore its wildlife. Seal colony at Cape Cross is extremely popular with tourists of all ages and it’s one of the largest colonies of Cape fur seals in the world.
