Affectionately pronounced "Wallfish" Bay by locals, Walvis Bay is home to an abundance of iconic birds such as pelicans and flamingos, as well as being within a stone's throw of sand dunes that will take your breath away. It is a town characterised by open spaces, breathtaking beauty and plant and animal life that you won't find anywhere else in the world. It is also an important logistics hub, with the port of Walvis Bay enabling imports and exports of various commodities.
A brief history of the area
Walvis Bay was occupied by the British in 1884, and as part of the Cape Colony, Walvis Bay became part of the Union of South Africa when the South Africa Act was signed in 1910. When Namibia became an independent nation in 1990, it laid claim to this valuable area, and eventually in 1994, Walvis Bay took its rightful place as part of the Republic of Namibia.Climate
If you don't like rain, the desert ambience of life in Walvis Bay will be perfect for you. With an average of zero days of rainfall every month of the year, Walvis Bay is also a haven for those who enjoy cooler climes. There is very little variation in the weather from month to month, with year-round maximum temperatures averaging between 18°C and 22°C. During the coldest months of June to September, average minimum temperatures will drop to about 11°C, while January to March sees minimums of about 16°C.Schools in the area

To call Walvis Bay anything less than a foodie's paradise would be an insult. A firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike is The Raft, which is built on stilts at the end of its own jetty. We recommend that you order one of the wood-fired pizzas - between the delicious food and the unique ambience, it's a culinary experience that you won't soon forget. To quote the website of Anchors @ The Jetty Restaurant, another Walvis Bay favourite, "we keep it fresh and simple, and the view isn't bad either". This provides a perfect summary of the harbour views and delicious meals that you will find here. There is an abundance of other restaurants to choose from, so you will have no problem finding something to tantalise anyone's taste buds.Fun things to do
