Visitor Information for Walvis Bay
|
Sandwich Harbour
You need a permit to visit Sandwich Harbour which is available at the petrol stations of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Also, a 4x4 is indispensable. Camping is not allowed in Sandwich Harbour. No fishing between the 25th of January and the 15th of April.
How to drive there: Before you tackle the sandy part of the route to Sandwich Harbour, your vehicle must be in 4-wheel mode. (engage wheel hubs at the front wheels). If you are not familiar with 4-wheel drives, let the car rental agency show you how it works. You should reduce the pressure on all the tyres considerably so that they're soft and wide and won't get stuck in the sand, Stick to the lower gears, keep the revs high and try to stay in the main lane when you drive through soft sand stretches.
 Langstrand
The 30 kilometre long coastal road between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay is one of the most beautiful routes in Namibia. On the one side looms the mighty sand dunes of the Namib and on the other, the cobalt-blue Atlantic Ocean. About halfway, lies Langstrand; a popular holiday resort with apartments and a campground. The Long Beach Resort offers lots of entertainment for children like a waterslide and tidal pools. There are two restaurants.
