SKELETON COAST PARK:

Skeleton Coast Park
The Skeleton Coast Park was proclaimed a National Park in 1973 and extends northwards from the Ugab River to the Kunene River. The attraction of this remote area is brought about by the untouched landscapes of windswept dunes, rugged canyon walls, extensive mountain ranges and forlorn shipwrecks littering the harsh rocky beaches.

Cape Cross Seal Reserve
With its surrounding area was proclaimed a reserve in 1968 to protect the largest and most well known of the 23 Cape Fur Seal colonies that breed along the coast of Southern Africa. It is also the area where the Portuguese navigator Diego Cao erected a stone cross in 1486, commemorating the first European to ever set foot on Namibian soil.
