If you have access to beaches like those in Watamu, you might not want to do anything else but relax on the fine sands. You'll find some fantastic sites away from the shore if you decide to explore all that Watamu has to offer. To explore the boardwalks that wind through the mangrove trees at Mida Creek Reserve, travel inland. Along the way, look for colourful birds like flamingos. Visit Green Island in a canoe or indulge in delectable regional seafood at the well-known Crab Shack. The mythical forgotten Swahili village of Gede that was abandoned many years ago and many uncommon species to observe make the Arabuko Sukoke Forest an excellent spot to walk. The surrounding town of Malindi is highly recommended for day trips. This seaside town, which has a strong Italian influence, is home to some of the best pizzerias outside of Italy, a picturesque Old Town, a bustling market, and an excellent museum. Take in the ambience as you stroll the twisting, little streets. Get to these lovely beaches and reserve your Watamu holiday with us immediately!
