Neighbourhood information

In the late nineteenth century, a small group of hardy settlers arrived on the Atlantic shore of the Namib Desert. They brought a piece of Germany with them. Today, this facet of history survives in the town's colonial architecture, while details of its social and natural history are captured in exhibits at the Swakopmund Museum. The Mole is a concrete pier that was constructed at the turn of the 20th century to serve the burgeoning number of ships and tugs arriving there but proved to be a white elephant. Ocean currents created sandbanks that made the harbour difficult to access and it was abandoned in favor of a new wooden jetty just a couple of years after being built. Today, the Mole is a local landmark and popular leisure spot, with a protected beach, swimming pool, leafy surrounds and an array of shops, hotels, and restaurants.
