Surrounded by undulating sand dunes in the northern Namib Desert, Terrace Bay is a desolate stretch of desert that rests along the Atlantic coastline, in the world-famous Skeleton Coast. Renowned as a popular famous fishing hotspot, eager anglers can enjoy shore-based surf angling in a quiet retreat on the beautiful beach before journeying to the nearby Skeleton Coast National Park. The park is the eerie graveyard of a number of ships that perished in the area due to the thick fog, unpredictable currents and stormy winds and tumultuous sea. Animals that thrive in this tumultuous landscape include elephants, rhinos, desert lions, brown hyenas, jackals, giraffes, seals, oryx, kudus and zebras. Other natural highlights include the ephemeral Omaruru River, the Ugab River, the Huab River, the Koigab River, and the Uniab River.
