About Diani Beach
North of Mombasa, further up the Kenyan coast you’ll find Watamu Beach. Another picture-perfect beach, Watamu has white sands and pristine waters.
Tribe Watersports, one of the world’s leading kite-surfing training centres is based in Watamu. They offer classes and equipment for hire for many water sports around Watamu, including kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, bodyboarding and more.
Watamu is also known for its turtle conservation work, especially at the Local Ocean Trust, a non-profit dedicated to protecting marine areas and the endangered species that live there. Their rehabilitation centre houses turtles, and they also commit to providing anti-poaching measures and nest protection.
Mida Creek is a great place to find varied birdlife and turtles, flamingos, and crabs, and it is a kayaking and paddleboarding paradise. Wakeboarding and waterskiing is also amazing in this area.
Watamu Beach is a popular post-safari getaway for travellers who want to unwind. If you have a strict itinerary and want to see everything that Kenya has to offer, then we recommend that you spend a few days in Watamu.
However, travellers who want a beach holiday can enjoy a week of Watamu’s cool ocean breeze and gentle waves.
Similarly, snorkelling and diving enthusiasts can make Watamu the focal point of their Kenyan adventure.
