Lüderitz Waterfront
Restaurants, cafés and boat departures on the harbour front, where you can taste fresh farmed oysters and take a sailing trip to see penguins and dolphins.
The waterfront lies between the old town and the harbour, with restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops and a tourist information centre, and views across to Shark Island. Lüderitz is famous for its cold-water farmed oysters, which are inexpensive, plump and a must-try. From the pier, sailing and motor boats run trips of about two hours across the bay to Halifax Island to see African penguins. Dolphins, seals and seabirds are often seen along the way. Book at least a day ahead, as trips may be cancelled in strong wind.
