Local tip
Leave the car parked and explore Swakopmund on foot. The town centre, cafés, historic streets and Atlantic seafront are just a short walk away. For a memorable day out, ask the Cornerstone team to help arrange a desert excursion or a dolphin and seal cruise from nearby Walvis Bay. Coastal weather can change quickly, so bring a warm jacket even on sunny days.
