BENGUELA COASTLINE
One of the main attractions of Namibia’s coast is its
outstanding angling potential, whether from the beach
or off small boats and diving for rock lobster. Popular
species are kabeljou, galjoen, blacktail, steenbras,
geelbek and white stumpnose.
Diamonds were discovered in the early 1900's and
due to the great diamond boom, the luxurious town of
Kolmanskop was built, today a ghost town. Later, more
diamonds and a richer field were found further south
and it was then that Kolmanskop was deserted and
became the ghost town as it is today.
