5. Swakopmund Jetty

In my youth the Jetty was a popular place for fishing and making out. Sadly fishing, as most other fun activities in the Dorob park, are Verboten :( During my life it was rebuilt twice and the maintence at the moment is supposedly funded by the restaurant at the head. The restaurant is for people with small appetites and cavernous wallets ;) The restaurant is also not open every day for lunch, as i recently found out. This landmark is a must visit. To stroll up to the head and back clears the mind. Sunsets are stunning.

First of all must get your permit from NWR office, Bismarck street in Swakopmund and self-drive through the desert: lichen fields, moon landscapes, remains of a 19th century war camp, ostriches and the amazing Welwitschias and other desert adapted plants.Interesting experience.

Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States
This building caught my eye are we drove thru the downtown streets of Swakopmund. It has been nicely restored to it original grandeur and class. The German architecture is quite detailed right up to the front top roof-line pinnacle. It is buildings like this that bring such charm to the Swakopmund downtown and makes it so fun exploring. BOTTOM LINE: I put this high on my "must see" list when in Swakopmund along with many other old restored buildings. Today it is divided up into condos and not accessible. Worth while even to swing by in your rental car or taxi. Loved it. MY RATING: 9/10.

The Mole - or Landing Pier- is one of the historic landmarks of Swakopmund- built by the Germans when first arriving in Swakopmund during the 1900s. Beautiful to stroll along. Smell the sea!
