Abstract:

Rocky Point on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, is a small rock outcrop on the otherwise flat and featureless sandy coast. It has a small bay north of it, but as the Africa Pilot advises, there is no landing place. Despite this, the mere fact that it is the most prominent landmark on the sandy coast between the rocky headland of Möwe Bay and the Kunene River, 250 km northwards, made it an important landmark in the past two centuries. For the last hundred years, authorities have restricted access, adding to the mystique of this isolated rock outcrop on the Namib Desert coast. For serious anglers, it is Utopia and for those lucky enough to have fished in its rich waters, it is a badge of distinction.
