Swakopmund - Namibia's Leading Adrenaline Destination

May 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Swakopmund is one of Namibia's premier holiday destinations. The coastal town is frequented by thousands of visitors and thrill seekers every year. The quintessential Namibian holiday town is characterised by colonial architecture, German ambience and a holiday atmosphere all year round.

Swakopmund is the meeting place of the Namib Desert and the cool Atlantic waters of the Skeleton Coast. The town comes to life during the summer months, when the seaside promenades and palm-lined streets are filled with holidaymakers seeking relaxation or recreation.

Namibia's adrenalin capital
Swakopmund is undoubtedly Namibia's leading adrenaline destination. It offers an exhilarating medley of desert and ocean adventures, including sandboarding, hot air ballooning, quad biking, sky diving, dune carting, camel rides, deep sea fishing, dolphin cruises, desert camping, helicopter charters, 4x4 tours, shark fishing and abseiling.

Sightseeing and cultural attractions
For those seeking more relaxed alternatives, visit local art galleries, museums and historical landmarks. The Swakopmund Snake Park and National Marine Aquarium are must-sees for sightseers. Swakopmund sunsets are a sight to behold. Enjoy sundowners or a romantic picnic as the sun sets over the coastline.

Swakopmund is a rich cultural melting pot.  The cross-section of locals includes Victorian-dressed Herero people, German descendents and arty bohemians.

An assortment of restaurants, cafés, pubs and night clubs serve the area.  Favourite local food and beverages include fresh seafood specialities, German-influenced dishes and, of course, beer. Joe's Beer House is one of Swakopmund's most popular eateries, offering good-old fashioned hospitality, unpretentious meals and ice cold beer.
