What Are The Beaches Like In Kenya?

Kenya has some of the best beaches in the world. The sun-kissed Kenyan beaches are long stretches of white tropical sand. The clear blue skies are in perfect contrast to the pristine sand and make for a memorable vacation in the East African country. In addition to the beaches, tourists can stay in some of the best hotels which offer world-class facilities and can visit the world-famous East African safari. The beaches are absolutely safe for swimming. They are protected by coral reefs.

The best beach locations in Kenya are Mombasa City (a former trading port which has been in existence for over fifteen centuries, which was first discovered by the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama and later by the Arabs from the Sultanate of Oman), the northern and southern coasts of Mombasa (the famous beaches of these areas include Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu and Kikambala on the north coast of Mombasa and Diani Beach on the south coast of the city), Lamu (a historic city) and Zanzibar Island (an exotic island, which is the location of such places of interest as Stone Town, the Old Fort, Home of Wonders, Palace Museum and the Old Stone Market.)
