The fact that these towns are sandwiched between the high sand dunes of the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean, makes them quite unique. Tourists are often drawn here for activities like quad biking in the dunes, paragliding, sandboarding and to experience the small and great wonders of the desert and the ocean.
Langstrand is governed by the municipality of Walvis Bay.[1] It is popular for escaping the interior summer heat in Namibia. The area came into recent fame because the Burning Shore Hotel, where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stayed during the end of her pregnancy with Shiloh, is located in Langstrand.
