The Republic of Namibia hosts the tallest and most spectacular sand dunes in the world in a wide array of colors from pink to red to orange. It's a place where the desert meets the sea. The Namib (meaning vast place) Desert dunes continue until they meet the cold seas of the Atlantic Ocean. The sea coast and dunes extend for hundreds of miles, however one of the best places to start your journey on this endless beach is known as Swakop. Swakop is the countries most populated coastal towns with a German flare. The dunes rise up to 180 feet high and span 20 miles long!The temperatures on the coast are fairly stable and range from 48 to 68 degrees. The area can also experience 180 days a year of thick fog (not so great for ships .. over 100 wrecks can be seen on the Skeleton Coast). Namibia is full of strange places and a great place to visit.
