Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast, a hauntingly beautiful stretch of coastline, extends from Angola all the way to the Swakop River, where it meets the coastal town of Swakopmund. This region has captivated the imagination of both the San Bushmen and Portuguese sailors, who referred to it as "The Land God Made in Anger" and "The Gates of Hell," respectively. The Skeleton Coast National Park, encompassing over 16,000 square kilometers, is named after the whale and seal bones that once scattered its shores from the whaling industry. Today, it is known for the skeletal remains of shipwrecks that have fallen victim to offshore rocks and fog, with notable wrecks like the "Eduard Bohlen," "Otavi," "Shawnee," "Zela," and "Dunedin Star."
