WATAMU
Overview
Watamu is situated on a small peninsula within the curve of Mida Creek and is surrounded by small coves, bays and broad lagoons. The coastline is fringed with coral reef keeping the waters calm and crystal clear. The area offers fantastic restaurants with local handcrafts made by the friendly local population and is where the swahili culture can be explored and discovered.
The Kenya North Coast has a warm tropical climate and on its doorstep the 7 km pristine Watamu beach which lies in the protected Watamu Marine National Park, that stretches all along the coastline. A perfect place for Green Turtles to nest.
If you have rested and relaxed enough you can take a trip/tour to visit the Bio-Ken Snake farm that has the largest collection of snakes in East Africa, visit the Rocha Bird Research Centre or find out more about the Local ocean Trust that rehabilitates injured sea Turtles.
