The Kenya Coast Beaches

The Kenya Coast - Diani, Mombasa, Malindi & Lamu

White sand beaches, warm Mediterranean waters, palm trees, casuarinas, brilliant bougainvillea, mangrove swamps, and enchanted rivers dot the coast of Kenya, Eastern Africa. Kenya enjoys turquoise blue waters of the Indian Ocean from the South of Mombasa, Diani, to the Northern Coastal town of Lamu. Sweet frangipani flowers fill the air while the soft monsoon winds cool everything down. Kenya Beach is one of the world’s most beautiful resort destinations, with a tranquil vista over enchanted coral reefs to the open sea. Most travelers come to soak up some rays and cool down in the ocean. Kenya has some of the most breathtaking reefs, coral gardens, and lagoons for snorkelers and scuba divers.

The Kenya beach is protected by the magnificent coral reef over most of its length, from Malindi north to Tanga south. These protected lagoons are home to over 250 fish species and gorgeous marine flora. National marine parks protect the reefs and water near Watamu, Malindi, Mombasa, and Shimoni.

Mombasa is a vivid combination of the ancient and contemporary, with an unusual mixing of African, Arab, and Asian cultures, and it serves as a colorful entrance to Kenya. This stunning eastern-sounding harbor is an island. The old town is a labyrinth of winding alleyways, charming shuttered homes, and open-fronted businesses that wrap around the dhow harbor. The Portuguese fortification of Fort Jesus, converted into a museum, still stands watch over its historic location. A visit to Mombasa is only complete if you’ve cruised the harbor in the luxurious Tamarind Dhow.

Combine your stay at the Kenya Beach with a Kenya Safari or Tanzania Holiday.
