i-con2 Lüderitz : Travel Information and Accommodation
Climate
Luederitz has a rough, but healthy maritime climate. Gale force winds (under a blue sky) frequently blow, especially between September and February. Often in the mornings, a thick layer of seafog covers the town. However, on windfree days it is wonderful in Luederitz. Rainfall is very low (under 50 mm per year).

Sights
Sightseeing Walk
There is a lot to see in and around Luederitz. On a tour of the town you can visit the Lutheran Felsenkirche, also from the inside (Tel 063-202381) and the Goerke Haus with its beautiful sun-dial, only on weekdays from 2 to 3 pm.

Museum
A visit to the Luederitz Museum in Diaz Street is a very worthwhile experience. The museum illustrates the history of the town, informs about diamond mining, the indigenous population, about life in the desert as well as on fishing and marine life. Open on weekdays from 10h00 to 12h00 and from 15h30 to 17h00. Small entrance fee. Tel 063-203959.

luederitz_waterfrontWaterfront
The relatively new Luederitz Waterfront is a prestige project of the town, inspired by the successful Cape Town Waterfront. At present it is still lacking tenants who can afford the rent. However, there are a few bistros, restaurants, boutiques and souvenir shops now.

Kolmanskop Ghost Town
Of great interest is the ghost town of Kolmanskop, which once was the centre of the diamond industry in Namibia. One-hour guided tours take place only in the mornings at 9h30 and 11h00. Tickets are available from Luederitz Tours & Safaris in Bismarck Street, Tel 063-202719. For more information go to the Kolmanskop page.

bogenfelsBig Bay and Bogenfels
Those who have the time, should take a trip around the lagoon, the Sturmvogel Bay and Big Bay to Diaz Point or even further to the Bogenfels. There are many sea birds and flamingos to be seen here.
 sedinak2Halifax Island
Take a trip to Halifax Island with its penguin colony. However, you should untertake this 2-hour trip only if you are reasonably seaworthy and the weather conditions are all right. Tel 063-204030.

sandrose_luederitzSandroses on Agate Beach
On Agate Beach in the north-east of the town one can still find sand roses from crystallised gypsum. In the past they were just taken along by tourists, which is now prohibited. If you love sand roses, inquire with the Nature Conservation Office. A ranger acompany you to dig a sand rose out. Swimming is allowed on Agate Beach, but there are no lifesavers.

sharkislandShark Island
A short drive to Shark Island (a peninsula) is nice. There is the Luederitz monument and one has a great view of the Atlantic, the harbour entrance and the town. On the peninsula lies the scenic campground of Luederitz. Unfortunately only few stands are protected from the wind.
