Marvel at a shipwreck on the coast
Henties Bay, Namibia
Visit the shipwreck Zeila on the Skeleton Coast and experience the dramatic scenery of the wild Atlantic coast up close.
What you can experience here
Fog, surf and strong currents make the coast off Namibia dangerous for seafarers. That is why numerous stranded ships lie close to shore. You can see the shipwreck Zeila between Swakopmund and Henties Bay. The ship ran aground in 2008 and has since been taken over by several great cormorants.
The shipwreck Zeila is located about 15 kilometres south of Henties Bay and is easy to reach directly from the coastal road C34. It lies relatively close to the shore so you can easily view it.
