How about a trip to Namibia West Coast

Namibia’s west coast is one of the strangest places on earth. But in a good way. It is almost entirely rainless and yet on a cool coastline with frequent fogs, it has some spectacularly orange-hued desert dunes barely half an hour inland (Sossusvlei we’re looking at you!), there are some lovely towns, albeit some more famous for, and frequented by, flamingos than humans, and a coastline’s name that must rank as one of the most eerie on earth “The Skeleton Coast”.
The largest coastal town, Swakopmund, is a favourite with Namibians for a seaside getaway, so if you want beach life, this is the best place to head in the country, with decent stretches of sand to laze on, although bear in mind the sea here is rough and cold, even in the height of summer. Filled with colonial buildings from it’s German past, it’s a pretty town with a range of cafes and restaurants good enough to sustain you for a few days. Walvis Bay, a few miles south is equally suited to beach life, but is more famous for its pink lakes and flocks of flamingos.
Further north you have the true Skeleton Coast, a region so-named as a result of the vast number of shipwrecks still clearly visible from the shore, that predominantly took place many, many years ago in the dense fog. Making for a wonderful spectacle, especially as they emerge from the fog, or at sunset, it’s a place you really must visit if you’re here.
