Walvis Bay travel guide, guidebook and phrasebooks, download .pdf chapters on Lonely Planet.

Walvis Bay (Afrikaans Walvisbaai, German Walfischbucht or Walfischbai, all meaning 'Whale Bay'), is a city in Namibia and the name of the bay on which it lies. The bay has been a haven for sea vessels because of its natural deepwater harbour, protected by the Pelican Point sand spit, being the only natural harbour of any size along the country's coast. Being rich in plankton and marine life, these waters also drew large numbers of whales attracting whalers and fishing vessels. The Dutch referred to it as Walvisch Baye and the English as Whale Bay, and in its eventual proclamation it came to be called Walfish Bay, and eventually Walvis Bay. It has also been referred to as Walwich Bay or Walwisch Bay ... more on Wikipedia.
