Calm and peaceful town by the coast in Namibia. Offering a touch of ocean breeze and desert sand dunes heat, it’s a place where the Namib desert and Atlantic Ocean collide for the man to enjoy.
"It’s carved out of the dunes between the Namib Desert and the ocean, and the breezes blowing off the Atlantic bring cooler temperatures here than inland. But for me Swakopmund is more about old buildings, desert and adventure than beaches "
