Watamu beach Kenya

The beach line has a reputation for being quiet. Watamu beach is so quiet that you are often not within a kilometre of the nearest sunbather or other beach walkers. Although it may seem a little busy at its northern end, the four and a half miles of pristine, white, sandy beach is for the most part, deserted.

There is occasionally a group from Temple Point beach restaurant, an Italian resort in the mouth of Mida Creek, who come to the beach-side during low tide. Temple Point usually only opens during the busy months and this is the only significant crowd you are likely to encounter.

During the migratory months - November through to March - many birds can be found walking the beach and feeding in the shallows.
At low tide, and especially spring low tide, a number of eroded corals protrude from the surface, this is home to innumerable fascinating flora and fauna of the sea.

The Watamu beach with its white sand, turquoise waters and superb coral reefs was recently voted the fifth best beach in the world by the Sunday Times Tour Operator Poll. If you have ever dreamed of living on a tropical beach
