  • Just above Luderitz is this lovely beach. There weren't many other people when we were there, though I think it gets popular at weekends. You can swim in the sea, which was a glorious colour though....  more

  • Getting to Agate Beach is a short and interesting drive out of town. We passed a herd of Oryx on the way and hundreds of flamingos on an inland lake. Unfortunately the drive to the beach is on the side of town where there is litter everywhere being blown around by the wind. Every dull shade of plastic caught by branches and fences and lining the way as a cortege to consumerism. The beach is lovely but what a stink of a drive to get there.
  • Agate beach is the most amazing place in Namibia, the western coastlines of Africa. The white sands of Agate beach look like diamonds and give colorful shades when they are wet after low tide or after rain.
  • One of the best beaches in Namibia, on a windless day 😉.
  • Short drive out if town. The beach has nice braai areas! It worth the drive...it's just beautiful!
  • What a fun discovery! We spent a few hours here combing the beach for agates which just lie in the sand. We found a bunch and would recommend you stop here if you have time while in Lüderitz.
