Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast of Namibia, an area once feared and shunned because of its treacherous coastline, is now prized as a place of beauty and tranquillity, a place of magnificent solitude. Apart from the explorers, prospectors and miners drawn to the Skeleton Coast by its legendary mineral wealth, only small groups of people have visited this protected area in north-western Namibia, and its mystery remains largely intact. It is undoubtedly high on the list of the world's most unusual, fascinating and scenically beautiful places.
