The spectacular North Kenyan coastline steeped in history has the 14th Century settlement, Malindi on the doorstep of the Indian Ocean. Malindi is a small town just 120 km from Mombasa. Due to its pristine white sandy beaches it is a popular tourist area. The town boasts a wide variety of fantastic restaurants offering the best seafood and some delectable Swahili dishes. There are also plenty of bars and shops, and some of the finest beach resorts in Kenya.

The Malindi and Watamu Marine Parks to the south are the oldest Marine parks in Africa and well known for the diverse gigantic corals and fish. The park has fringing reefs, coral gardens and sea grass beds, perfect habitat for marine mammals, turtles and various species of shore birds. Activities at Malindi includes: the Marafa-Hells Kitchen (fantastic geological formations), the Gede Ruins, Vasco da Gama Pillar and Malindi museum. There is also Mamburi town, which is a 5th century town off the Lamu Road, which has a centuries old pillar tomb with porcelain bowls from the Ming Dynasty.
