SWAKOPMUND is a city on the coast of northwestern Namibia, 280 km (170 mi) west of Windhoek, Namibia's capital. It is the capital of the Erongo administrative district. As a seaside resort, the weather is cooler here in December to January (Namibia's summer months) so the territorial administration moves to Swakopmund for these months.The town has 42,000 inhabitants and covers193 square kilometres (75 sq mi) of land.
Swakopmund is a beach resort and an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South-West Africa, and a sizable part of its population is still German-speaking today.
The city lies on the B2 road and the Trans-Namib Railway from Windhoek to Walvis Bay. It is also home to Swakopmund Airport.
Buildings in the city include the Altes Gefängnis prison, designed by Heinrich Bause in 1909. The Woermannhaus, built in 1906 with a prominent tower, is now a public library.
Attractions in Swakopmund include a Swakopmund Museum, the National Marine Aquarium, a crystal gallery and spectacular sand dunes near Langstrand south of the Swakop River.

Jetty in Swakopmund, Namibia: yesterday and today | Историческая пристань в Свакопмунде видео и фото
The first wooden jetty, completed in 1905 in Swakopmund, was damaged by borer worm Teredo navalis and construction of iron jetty began in 1911. Proposed length was 640 metres but by the beginning of World War 1 only 262 meters were completed. First repairs were done in 1986 while the replacement of badly corroded iron structures (part of jetty was closed for pedestrians in 1998 for 7 years) was completed in 2010.
Историческая пристань в городе Свакопмунд в Намибии
Первая деревянная пристань, завершенная в 1905 году, была повреждена червем Teredo navalis и строительство новой стальной конструкции началось в 1911 году. Планировалась длина пристани в 640 метров, но к началу 1 мировой войны в 1914 были завершены только 262 метра. Первый ремонт был сделан в 1986 году с заменой передних сильно проржавевших железных конструкций (позже второй неремонтированный участок пристани был закрыт для пешеходов в 1998 году на 7 лет), второй был завершен в 2010 году и открыт ресторан и суши бар с видом на Атлантический океан.

Namibia - Swakopmund
Swakopmund, das südlichste Seebad Deutschlands. Das Südwesterlied wird vom Männergesangsverein Swakopmund vorgetragen.
Namibia - Swakopmund
Swakopmund ist eine wahre Sommerfrische. Das spürt man, wenn man aus der Wüste Namib kommend in der Stadt ankommt. Der Atlantik sorgt für ein recht kühles Klima. Die Stadt stand ab 1862 unter deutscher Verwaltung und wer heute durch die Stadt fährt, kommt sich noch heute, fast 100 Jahre nach der deutschen Herrschaft, so vor, als ob die Gesandten des Kaisers gerade erst das Land verlassen hätten., Der Besucher unternimmt noch heute eine Reise in das frühe letzte Jahrhundert.

Swakopmund is a true summer vacation. You can feel, when you get it coming from the Namib desert in the city. The Atlantic Ocean provides a fairly cool climate. The city was in 1862 under German administration, and who continues today through the city comes up today, nearly 100 years after the German occupation, as if the envoy of the emperor had just left the country., The visitor is taking yet today, a journey in the early last century.

Swakopmund & Walvis Bay - Pelican Point / Namibia 2015 - Part II
Swakopmund & Walvis Bay - Pelican Point Video Highlights;
Swakopmund (German for Mouth of the Swakop) is a city on the coast of Namibia, 360 km west of Windhoek, Namibia's capital. The city is situated in the Namib desert.
Swakopmund is a beach resort and an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South-West Africa, and a sizable part of its population is still German-speaking today.
Buildings in the city include the the Woermann Haus, built in 1906 with a prominent tower, is now a public library.
Attractions in Swakopmund include a Swakopmund Museum, the National Marine Aquarium, a crystal gallery and spectacular sand dunes near Long Beach south of the Swakop River.
The Herero people called the place Otjozondjii. The name of the town is derived from the Nama word Tsoakhaub (excrement opening) describing the Swakop River in flood carrying items in its riverbed, including dead animals, into the Atlantic Ocean. The German settlers changed it to Swachaub, and when in 1896 the district was officially proclaimed, the version Swakopmund (German: Mouth of the Swakop) was introduced.
Captain Curt von François founded Swakopmund in 1892 as the main harbour for the Imperial German colony. The deep sea harbour at Walvis Bay belonged to the British. The founding date was on August 8 when the crew of gunboat Hyäne (Hyena) erected two beacons on the shore. Swakopmund was chosen for its availability of fresh water, and because other sites further north such as Cape Cross were found unsuitable. The site did, however, not offer any natural protection to ships lying off the coast, a geographical feature not often found along Namibia's coast.
When the first 120 Schutztruppe soldiers and 40 settlers were offloaded at Swakopmund, they had to dig caves into the sand for shelter.
Walvis Bay, (pronounced Walfish Bay) meaning Whale Bay in Afrikaans is a place of rare beauty and windswept dunes, stark landscapes and jagged coastlines - a world of untamed natural beauty - this is Walvis Bay, the main harbour of Namibia.
Walvis Bay's rich natural resources and strategic location provide the basis for tourism and industrial development. On the landward side, Walvis Bay is enclosed by 23 000 square km of conservation area that includes high dunes, wetlands and Kuiseb River delta.
The Lagoon at Wallis Bay is the largest single area of shallow water on the west coast of Africa. This tranquil stretch of water with its natural beauty is accentuated by thousands of flamingos and other birds. The Lagoon is regarded as one of the most important areas for coastal birds and the best flamingo viewing locality in the world.
Sandwich Harbour is located 48 km to the south of Walvis Bay, Sandwich Harbour is a spectacular and photo-worthy destination. Sought after by anglers, ornithologists and nature lovers, the lagoon was once an open bay, which silted up over the years. The lagoon is fed by fresh water seeping from inland aquifers, and is a sanctuary for large numbers of coastal and fresh water birds. As you can observe in the video a 4x4 vehicle are needed to visit Sandwich Harbour.
