You've probably heard of it but have you seen it?
This is a booming coastal city with alot of new and innovative construction and architecture. Excellent food at the Lighthouse Restaurant.

Here's a new apartment complex


The Litehouse Restaurant


Individual House


Long Beach-a new development between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.

OOPS! Here's the "Individual House"-and, there were alot of these being built.

Great photos of a neat town. We stayed in the Swakopmund Hotel which was the old train station and now a 4 star hotel. Not sure when I was ever treated nicer. great place to stay and a neat town to visit. We rode the Desert Express train from Swako back to Windhoek and that too was a great trip.
We will be back in Namibia in Sept for another hunt. Wish we had time to go back to Swako.
Thanks for the photos.

Thanks for the pictures. They bring back fond memories.

Swakopmund's a nice place to hang out for a few days. And besides the Lighthouse restaurant, a place called The Tug (it's in an old beached tugboat on the beach) is another good fish place in town. Especially if you get a window table, so you can watch the sun setting while enjoying some fine food and wine. And don't forget Café Anton. A good place for an afternoon snack of apfelstrüdel and other German pasterys and cakes.

Swakopmund also has some nice activities nearby such as sandboarding and other dune related sports.

Here's the kicker, Rose says these big houses are selling for up to $600,000 Rand- about $100,000 US! Let's buy one!
