The read
- What it feels like
- The waterfront is where Swakopmund meets the cold Atlantic. The old iron jetty stretches into the mist. Seafood restaurants line the shore. Walvis Bay oysters are cheap and excellent.
- Who is around
- Couples at dinner, solo travellers with a book and a plate of oysters, and locals walking dogs along the promenade.
- On foot
- Very small. The jetty and waterfront area take about 10 minutes to walk. Connected to the town centre by a short walk along the beach road.
- After dark
- The restaurant at the waterfront serves dinner with ocean views. The jetty is atmospheric at sunset. After dinner, the area is quiet and exposed to the coastal wind.
