Watamu
Watamu Beach does not extend for miles, but what is missing is length, which is compensated by adventure. The massive coral reef makes it an ideal place for snorkeling and diving. And if you are lucky, you can swim with whale sharks (depending on the time of year). If not, head to the Arabuko Sokoke Forest on a short safari. If you are a fan of history, you will be happy to see the ruins of Gede, an abandoned medieval settlement.
Malindi
Malindi Beach is located next to Watamu Beach. The locals call it “Little Italy” because of the large number of italyn tourists visiting it. Fishermen also come during the fishing season, while water sports enthusiasts are available all year round for snorkeling and diving. And do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful beach after dark.
Lamu Lamu
Lamu is the land of sailboat. Kitesurfing is a cultural tradition in Lamu, where locals hold an annual competition to this end. Sailboats are the cheapest form of transportation used to transport people from Lamu Beach to Shila Beach and Manda Island, to Kiwiu Island next to Gyeonga Marine National Park. You can sail to watch the sunset in the deep sea, or take a cruise to the marine park for snorkeling and swimming with dolphins if your timing is appropriate, you can also go on a trip to see the ruins of Takwa. The most enjoyable thing is to spend the night at sea on a luxury sailboat after eating a luxurious meal of fresh fish.
Diani Diani
The surrounding lush vegetation contrasts sharply with white sand and turquoise water giving Diani Beach a very attractive feel. There is a wide range of accommodations: beach resorts, hotels, hostels and cottages. If you’re not a fan of water sports, spend some time in the Kolobs Reserve or sit under a tree in the sacred Kaya Kinondo Forest and have fun.
Tiwi Tiwi
This quiet beach is often overlooked in the interest of its neighbor, Diani Beach, due to the absence of amenities. Besides the 4-star Tiwi Beach Resort, the only other accommodations are cottages and guest houses, with no restaurants for picnicking. However, the beach compensates for this deficit by being one of the best diving sites, and you can actually touch the coral while you walk along the beach . It is loved by locals, especially from the capital Nairobi. What makes this beach more attractive is its tranquility, if you want to have a good time out of the crowd.
