Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast is a beach situated in Namibia, renowned for its remote and challenging location. To access the beach, visitors must trek through a 12 km desert. The coast has a history of shipwrecks and castaways due to the treacherous reefs and fog. While many wrecks can be found along the coast, they are best observed from an aerial perspective. Overnight camping is not permitted in the reserve. The southern area of the Skeleton Coast is home to a fishing town that offers professional fishing experiences. Namibia has a desert climate with hot temperatures during the summer and cooler, humid temperatures in the winter, making it a destination that can be visited year-round. The optimal time for a beach holiday is from November to April, but the Atlantic Ocean off the Namibian coast is not particularly warm.
