Porto do Namibe, Angola
Facilities & Weather Forecast

Sandstone cliffs (134ft high) form the Eastern extremity of Port Alexander. This port forms a commodious harbour where vessels may lie in perfect safety at all seasons of the year. The peninsula forming the West & North side of the port is a low steep sandy tongue, terminating in Bateman Point in Lat 15 47' 30" S Long 11 52' 45" E, whence the mouth of the port is 4/5 of a mile across. A few natives are occasionally seen in this locality, but they are miserable in appearance & very shy. Plenty of fish may be caught with the seine, & good fresh water may be obtained on the South side of the port by digging.
