DESCRIPTION
About 35km north of Angola's capital, Luanda, lies a stretch of beach that is an eerie resting place for 20 + derelict and rusting ships.
Known by locals as Praia da Santiago or Praia do Sarico, the 2.5km stretch of beach is better known as Shipwreck Beach or Karl Marx Beach, named after the biggest shipwreck on the beach.
Offshore and along this stretch of beach are dozens of rusting hulks of tankers, cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Many legends have been passed along concerning how the large ships mysteriously arrived there in local folklore, while some truly interesting mercantile history and cold war history lies behind their real stories as well. Enjoy the cool playground & ship graveyard!
Enjoy a day on the beach out of town, eerily novel scenery, a picnic with friends, or some otherworldly photo-memories!
*Please pack a lunch for the day or ask our guide to arrange something (not included) for your group!
