Skeleton Coast - A vast Atlantic coastline of wrecks, whale bones and rolling mists.
The name Skeleton Coast conjures in the mind a world of desolation which in many respects is true as the coastline is litter with the beached bones of whales and the rusting hulks of wrecked ships.
The local San tribes people refer to it as “The Land God Made in Anger” and the early Portuguese explores referred to the Skeleton Coast as “The Gates of Hell”. For the modern-day traveller, the Skeleton Coast is an opportunity to explore a vast wilderness where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Namib Desert. A land of sea fogs and mist, heavy surf, rocky out crops and a surprising array of desert adapted wildlife.
If heading north from Swakopmund, driving the Skeleton Coast is a great option as far as Torra Bay, where you have to turn inland towards Damaraland.
