Tiwi Beach

The wide sandy beaches of Tiwi beach are an hour south of the bustling Port city of Mombasa . The Tiwi is a vibrant, intimate little paradise with endless stretches of powdery white sandy beaches lined with Coconut palms and lapped by the warm turquoise colored waters of the Indian Ocean. The gorgeous little beach that stretches down to Tanzania is a Mecca for sun worshippers and snorkels alike as the reef are alive with colorful fish. “The map of Africa” is a nice rock pool near the beach and funny enough it takes the shape of the African Continent. This is a nice place to spend time snorkeling. A common place to see Marine life at their best is to snorkel on the Coral reef.

Bottled water, sun cream and a hat are advisable as at times it’s very sunny here. In addition to use private transport or taxis is advisable as bounding a matatu might tempt you to walk the last two kilometers from the matatu junction that might be unsafe. A visit to Wasini Island for a traditional Swahili lunch, a trip to Kisite Marine National Park, Dolphin watching, shallow and deep sea diving and deep-sea fishing to an afternoon’s siesta are things to do here. The luxurious Tiwi beach resorts and hotels subtly communicate the culture of the land through traditional cuisine, hospitality customs and ethnic décor as well as providing comfortable retreat from the sand and surf. This makes Tiwi beach a power pack of fascinating thrills interspersed with a relaxing environment.
