Swakopmund is the premier holiday resort in Namibia where, during the summer holidays and long weekends, thousands of Namibians flock to enjoy the inherent delights of this wonderful coastline. Swakopmund has a real holiday feel and, during December, the cool Namibian coast offers relief from the intense heat of the interior. The architecture and general feeling of Swakopmund is one which may be associated with a small German village, and the town seems to be stuck in time. Although in recent times a new generation have woken up to the tourist potential of the area, Swakopmund still manages to create a feeling of timelessness.
The area of the Namib Desert around Swakopmund is named the West Coast Recreational Area. For those interested in adventure activities Swakopmund offers sandboarding, quad biking, dune carting, parachuting, hot air ballooning, shark fishing, deep sea fishing and beach angling to name but a few. For the more sedentary there are restaurants, cafes, art galleries, museums, a snake park and aquarium.
There is a great variety of accommodation in Swakopmund which cater for all tastes and budgets.
