Skeleton Coast

Located on the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia, the Skeleton Coast is quite infamous for dense fogs, mighty storms, and violent surf. These caused many ships in the past to run aground along the Skeleton Coast, and the desolate coastline has become familiar as the world’s biggest ship graveyard.
