- The Lüderitz Jetty — The town’s most photographed landmark: a long, weathered pier jutting into the bay with great light for photos, fishermen working off the end, seals and seabirds in the water, and a raw Atlantic feel you won’t get elsewhere.
- Lüderitz Harbour & Waterfront — Active fishing harbour with colourful boats, fish-processing activity, and a working quay where you can watch Cape fur seals, see pelicans up close, and soak in the town’s maritime pulse.
