About This Area

Known for its dramatic landscapes, the Skeleton Coast is one of the world’s most remote and awe-inspiring destinations. This untamed coastline features remote beaches strewn with whale bones and the wrecks of hundreds of ships, whilst the interior is an uninhabited desert of rolling, endless sand, mountains, picturesque plains, clay castles and desert-adapted wildlife. The meeting point of the arid desert and the cold, misty Atlantic Ocean creates a unique and diverse ecosystem which supports a surprising variety of desert-adapted wildlife, including the iconic desert elephants, lions, and various species of antelope and a rich array of seabirds, making it a prime spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.
