Walvis Bay is a vibrant coastal city on Namibia’s Atlantic shore, famous for its vast lagoon, rich marine life, and dramatic desert-meets-ocean landscapes. The Walvis Bay Lagoon is one of southern Africa’s most important wetlands, attracting thousands of flamingos and pelicans year-round, making it a top spot for birdwatching.

Just south of town, towering sand dunes roll straight into the sea, creating iconic scenery and unforgettable experiences like dune boarding, quad biking, and 4x4 desert tours. Boat cruises in the bay often reveal dolphins, seals, and even whales, while the calm waters are ideal for kayaking and sailing.
With its mix of wildlife, adventure, and striking natural beauty, Walvis Bay is one of Namibia’s must-visit destinations for travelers exploring the Skeleton Coast and Namib Desert.
