Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast stretches from the Swakop River to southern Angola and is known as "Land God Made in Anger".
Thousands of kilometers of sand and shipwrecks hit the cold waters of the Atlantic, and somehow amazing fauna and flora manages to survive in this harsh but beautiful environment. Ocean fog creeps across the shoreline, caused by the warm, dry air of the Namib Desert, which collides with the cold Benguela current. This otherworldly area is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabird colonies, cape seals, zebras, gemsboks, desert-adapted elephants, lions and more. Surfing enthusiasts are attracted to these mighty waves and photographers flock from around the world to take a look at this sinister shipwreck cemetery and unique marine photo opportunities. This coast is deserted, but breathtakingly beautiful.
