Sandwich Harbour (Portuguese: Porto d'Ilhéu) is 80km south of Walvis Bay with a bay in the north and a lagoon at the southern end.

Sandwich Harbour might have been named after an English whaling ship, the Sandwich, which worked during the 1780s, or the name may be a corruption of the German word "sandfische", a species of shark found in the area. Formerly, the bay was a moderately-sized commercial port based around whaling and small-scale fishing, but it is now best known for its birdlife in the lagoon to the south of the bay.
