Sandwich Harbour is the name of a fresh water lagoon along the Namibian Atlantic coast which is about 40km south of Walvis Bay. Its wetlands, which are protected by the extends of the Namib Dunes, are supplied by springs of brackish water at the foot of those dunes. The reed grown areas around the lagoon is inhabited by large colonies of seabirds like Flamingos, Sea Swallows, Pelicans and Cormorants. Since 1979 the lagoon is part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. | ||||||||||||||
