The place
Why go.
Watamu sits on Kenya's north coast beside a protected marine park. White sand, turquoise water and coral reefs define the coastline, with traditional dhows and fishing boats working the shallows. It is a quieter coastal counterpart to Diani, and a good fit for travellers who want the sea without the resort bustle.
