About Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast is named after the numerous shipwrecks found along its shores. The park extends from the Ugab River to the Kunene River, featuring a harsh but beautiful environment where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean. The northern section is one of the most remote areas in Namibia.
