Port Nolloth: peace, seclusion<\/i> and shining fortune<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″ border_style=”solid” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]The small port town of Port Nolloth lies at the tip of the Diamond Coast in western South Africa. This is the center of sea diamond extraction in the country. In an area spanning hundreds of kilometers between the coastal town and the Green River estuary, high-quality precious stones are hidden between sand and gravel on the sea floor. It is not only adventurers and fortune-seekers who start dreaming here: the sparsely populated strip of land is far removed from the beaten track inland, tempting people to enjoy the tranquility and romance of unspoiled natural landscapes along the rough Atlantic coast. Enjoy peace and seclusion in the dreamy town of Port Nolloth, the only resort on the Diamond Coast of South Africa, and dive for your own marine treasure with Benguela Diamonds.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]Book your journey<\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”40px” el_class=”dontshowdesktop”][vc_empty_space height=”60px” el_class=”dontshowmobile”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_id=”paddingweg”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”60px” el_class=”dontshowmobile”][vc_column_text el_class=”dontshowmobile”]<\/p>\n

A great discovery on the diamond coast<\/i><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″ border_style=”solid” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]The history of this small settlement on the west coast dates back to 1854\u201355, when Commander Nolloth established an entrep\u00f4t in a remote bay. The idea was to transport copper mined from the hinterland surrounding Springbok and Okiep. However, the waters were too shallow for large ships, so the dream of the important port city quickly burst. More than a century later, Port Nolloth was to gain fame and reputation for a much more valuable commodity when a young boy discovered a glittering stone on the beach: the coast\u2019s first diamond. In the 1970s, a diamond rush broke out on the west coast. Although this frenzy has since passed, the small town\u2019s old houses tell the stories of those days, and the sea floor of the Diamond Coast is still teeming with precious treasure.

An idyllic gem on the west coast<\/i>: Port Nolloth<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″ border_style=”solid” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]The small, picturesque town is nestled in a secluded bay on the South Atlantic. Dreamy Port Nolloth is shrouded in a dense mist each morning, while during the day the boats of diamond divers and crayfish fishermen sway on the horizon. Local restaurants serve freshly caught seafood, and residents have mythical stories to tell about diving for precious diamonds. The sea is too cold for bathing: the Benguela Current drives masses of cool water along the coast, but it once also brought many valuable diamonds that now lie at the bottom of the sea. These precious stones were swept from the inland Kimberley region into the sea by the Orange River over millions of years. Around 80 kilometers north of Port Nolloth, the Orange River flows into the Atlantic on the Namibian border, where marine currents have spread jewels along the entire Diamond Coast.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_id=”paddingweg”][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”dontshowmobile”]<\/p>\n
