One of the most popular beaches in Kenya is the Nyali beach which is located 10km away from the main city of Mombasa. Visitors come here in huge numbers to spoil themselves and have fun. On the beach itself we have numerous coconut trees that provide shade and relation as the waters of the Indian Ocean foam and break along the coastline.

Water lovers can engage in fun activities like scuba diving, canoeing, boat riding as well as sailing and surfing in the Indian ocean but at a small fee.

Dubbed the little paradise and 30 km south of Mombasa, Diani is a palm adorned 25km white sanded beach where turquoise waters of Indian Ocean caress the adorned coral reefs. Gentle sea breezes, warm sunshine and gentle nights make Diani the most intimate of beaches.

Diani beach borders the tropical rain forest that has colorful animals like the Colubus monkeys. One of the hotels that can be found around Diani beach is the Diani Beach resort.

On the north coast, we have Vipingo which is the most reclusive beach and is best for those on honeymoon and those seeking privacy. The beach is so secluded that when you walk on it, your footprints might be the only ones there! The sandy white beaches coupled with the crystal clear waters add an ambiance effect.

During the whale season, it’s the ideal viewing location. It’s a high class beach area with Vipingo Ridge golf course and posh residential houses. Water sports like surfing, diving, kayaking and sailing are availed for tourists. The beach is protected by magnificent coral reefs.

Watamu beach is touted as the most safest and unspoiled beaches in Mombasa. It is located on the northern side of Mombasa and is about 120km from Mombasa town. The beach is blessed with fine white sands and clear waters which is good for a relaxing beach stroll. Because the waters are clear, one is able to see marine life including fish, sharks, dolphins and turtles.

At evenings, the spectacular African sunset, dots the infinite horizons. Diving, surfing, snorkeling are among the water sports availed for tourists. Guest houses, hotels and resorts are available for accommodating visitors.

Tiwi an hour south of Mombasa city is an intimate sunny beach paradise, with infinite stretches of white sandy beaches lined with coconut palms and caressed, by the turquoise calm Indian Ocean waters.

This tiny beach is the consummate sun bathing destination whose coral reefs teem with adorned colorful fish species.
