Vineta is one of the suburbs of the town of Swakopmund in Namibia. This neighbourhood is located to the north of the town centre and extends over 3 km along the Atlantic coast. To the east it borders on the C34 road and the Tamariskia neighbourhood.
When it was built in the 1950s, it was located about 1 km north of the town centre, with only sand and some shacks inhabited by coloured people in between. Now the town centre and Vineta form a contiguous area.
Most houses in Vineta originally belonged to white people, who permanently lived inland from the coast, their coastal properties used as holiday homes only. Nowadays, Vineta is inhabited by people belonging to the middle and upper strata of society. There are also some apartment buildings, schools and recreational facilities in the neighbourhood.
