Beach near Namibe, Angola

Namibe Travel Guide

Angola

Namibe is a city of around 80,000 people on Angola’s south-western coast. It is a practical base for exploring this dry coastal part of the country, with the Atlantic shaping the local landscape and climate.

Travellers flying in use Yuri Gagarin Airport, also known by its airport code, MSZ. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Namibe, so the city is better suited to travellers interested in its coastal setting than those planning a beach-focused break.
