Swakopmund: Jetty officially reopened!

Swakopmund's famous landmark, the jetty, was officially reopend on Friday, 30 July 2010. The Swakopmund Municipality closed the jetty already back in 1998 on safety grounds, as it was no longer deemed safe for people to walk on.

 
The "new" jetty has some new additions, such as the southern side for walking and the northern side for fishing, a second deck offering uninterrupted views over the Atlantic Ocean, and an upmarket seafood restaurant and oyster bar at the end of the 300-metre pier. The jetty has toilet facilities and no waste is deposited into the sea. Entrance is free. Lighthouse Group, which developed the "new" jetty and will maintain and manage it, promised the public to provide 24-hour security.
