Situated 120km north of Swakopmund, Cape Cross is home to one of the largest colonies of Cape Fur Seals in the world. The surrounding area was proclaimed a reserve in 1968 to protect the biggest and best known of the 23 colonies of Cape Fur Seals which breed along the coast of South Africa and Namibia. During the November / December breeding season as many as 150,000 seals gather at Cape Cross. The name refers to the large stone cross erected here by Portuguese explorers in the 15th century.

This is a little further afield, but worth a day trip. Cape Cross is where Portuguese navigator Diego Cao raised a cross in 1485. It is now a home to thousands of Cape Fur seals. Combine this visit with a lunch at Cape Cross lodge and a swim in Namibia's own Dead Sea.

It is also among the top visited places at the coastal towns. This place is situated some kilometers outside Henties Bay.
