A hauntingly beautiful stretch of fog-shrouded coastline where shipwrecks and desert elephants define the experience.
Overview
The Skeleton Coast is one of the most remote and atmospheric stretches of coastline on Earth. Named for the whale bones and shipwrecks that litter its shores.
Heritage
Protected since 1971, preserving a landscape that the Bushmen called 'The Land God Made in Anger'.
