Worth a visit! Stay for sunset and - at least midweek - you'll most likely have the beach and all of the shipwrecks to yourself. Visited May 27, 2022.
I was on this beach in December 2023 and there is nothing left to see. Nothing remains of the shipwrecks. All of them were pulled ashore and the steel was used by the inhabitants of a nearby village or sold for scrap. The beach is full of small rowing boats and the last bits of scrap metal. There is no longer a trace of the ship graveyard :/
The shipwreck is no longer there.

Reviews
Cemitério Dos Navios, also known as the Ship Cemetery, is a unique and surreal place worth visiting for its historical significance. While some reviewers mention that the shipwrecks are no longer present and have been repurposed or removed, others highlight the beauty of the beach and the small resort area where visitors can enjoy a clean environment with support facilities. The site originated around 30 years ago when Luanda's port lacked space for decommissioned ships, leading to the creation of this fascinating location.Review score

All ships are gone, no ships available to see anymore, very disappointing.
