Swakopmund, a traditional holiday spot for both locals and foreigners, offers a plethora of opportunities for adventures, sports, and classic entertainment. 

This festive season, Namibians, particularly those from Windhoek and the southern part of the country, have made Swakopmund their preferred destination.

Namibians, seeking a break from the usual Christmas celebrations, flocked to Swakopmund for a mix of church visits and festive leisure.

Some opted for a relaxing day at home, indulging in cooking and grilling meat on hot coals. 

Meanwhile, the town buzzed with people engaging in beach activities such as swimming, beach volleyball, and soccer, while others simply soaked up the sun.

Holidaymaker Adelaide Job, a 41-year-old South African, joined the festivities with her Namibian cross-border family. 

She expressed admiration for Namibia's beautiful landscape, finding it soul-capturing, and expressed a desire to return with more family and friends in the future.

Not far away, Leinhord Liebchen and his son Respeat Liebchen from Windhoek marked their spot on the Swakopmund-Walvis Bay long beach.

As vehicles line up along the long beach between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, many have chosen fishing and camping for a delightful Christmas and Family Day dinner, adding to the festive atmosphere.
