Diaz Point Lighthouse stands on a rocky peninsula near Lüderitz, commemorating the first European landing on Namibian soil by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488. The lighthouse, built in 1910, offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding coastline. Visitors can explore the point, see the Dias cross replica, and learn about the area's maritime history. The site is a popular spot for photography and watching the dramatic waves crash against the rocks.
