Langstrand (Afrikaans and German for "Long Beach", which the residential area is often called by English-speaking tourists) is a small beach resort on the Atlantic coast in western Namibia. Langstrand and its neighboring sister resort Dolfynstrand lies between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund.
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.
