Pelican Point Peninsula

Stretching into the Atlantic Ocean from Walvis Bay, Pelican Point Peninsula is a secluded paradise of windswept beaches, dramatic dunes, and abundant wildlife. This narrow sandspit is home to a thriving colony of Cape fur seals, often seen basking along the shore or playfully diving into the waves. The peninsula is also a haven for birdwatchers, with flocks of flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants creating a spectacular display against the coastal backdrop.

At its tip stands the historic Pelican Point Lighthouse, a striking landmark that has guided sailors since 1932. Beyond its rich wildlife, the area offers thrilling adventures—kayak among the seals, embark on an exhilarating 4×4 excursion along the remote sandbanks, or simply immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of this wild coastal landscape. The combination of solitude, raw nature, and breathtaking scenery makes Pelican Point Peninsula an unmissable stop on any visit to Walvis Bay.
