Watamu
Marine park, turtle nesting, deep sea fishing
Watamu is a quieter, more intimate alternative to Diani — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with a marine national park teeming with sea turtles, whale sharks, and coral gardens. The village retains an authentic Swahili character, and the fishing here — both deep sea and fly fishing on the Sabaki River — is world class.
