Möwebucht
A ranger and marine research station in Skeleton Coast National Park, with a small museum displaying shipwreck relics and whale bones.
Möwebucht lies north of the Hoanib River mouth and is home to the ranger station and marine research station of Skeleton Coast National Park. A small museum displays shipwreck debris, whale bones, and seal and seabird specimens collected from the nearby coast, telling the story of the maritime disasters of the Skeleton Coast. The surrounding shoreline has seals, jackals and shipwreck remains. North of Möwebucht, self-driving is prohibited, and visitors usually reach it either on a coastal tour from the Hoanib fly-in camp or on a flying expedition.
