This scenic shipwreck is a drive from Swakopmund as you heading to Hanties Bay, beautiful scenery.

Hi everyone! It was a nice place to visit if you are there. And i saw a lot of negative comments on the stones seller, just keep this in mind, that is their bread and butter. So if you stop by I advice you guys to bring some extra food or water for them if you are not interested in buying the stones you can give them any food. Because they no longer asking for money, they ask us any biscuits or waters 😭.. anyway! Have a good time in Namibia. Love, Malaysian.

The shipwreck itself is interesting enough to warrant a quick stop. But as others have noted the numerous hawkers killed the mood quickly and made us feel very unsafe. As soon as we were spotted they came at us in groups of threes and fours, others quickly made for our car while we were still at the beach. To avoid being surrounded by an ever growing group of dodgy people we quickly left. Our stay was about 5 minutes and as uncomfortable as it could get. Barely managed to take a picture before we got the hell out of there

Quite a far drive for something that you can enjoy in about 10-15 minutes. But I recommend stopping by if you are passing by, especially if you are heading to the seal colony. I wish this place didn't have panhandlers selling stones but they are pretty much everywhere that tourists go. They should leave you alone if you politely tell them you are genuinely not interested.

First time I've ever seen a shipwreck. It's really interesting that this happened recently (2008). Birds have claimed the shipwreck as their home. Great photo opportunity. Apart from that there is obviously nothing else to do here. It's a quick stop for photos but it's amazing to actually witness a shipwreck.
