The Peninsula
Make sure to visit the peninsula and soak up the deep blue ocean surrounded by a clear blue sky with penguins and flamingos. The lighthouse and the red saltwater lake with tough 4WD roads are situated in a harsh environment with stone and sand. Don’t miss out on the beautiful blue bays in the morning and give it a try to swim in the ice-cold water.
The Kegelbahn
Another typical German symbol in Luderitz, the Kegelbahn, is an old bowling alley situated on Bay Road.
Ghost Town Kolmanskop

The Buffet at Barrels
Make sure to taste the Namibian cuisine at Barrels in Luderitz, where you can see candles lit everywhere with old barrels used as tables. Don’t miss out on eating here at the buffet in an incredible atmosphere.
Agate Beach
Agate Beach is situated around 5 km north of Luderitz, featured with picnic areas and braai spots. The beach is named after the small pieces of agate you may find on the beach.
