Kenya Beaches & Coastline Long known to both Kenyans and colonials alike, the beaches of Kenya cultivated a reputation during the 80s as an untouched and exotic paradise only travelled to by the most adventurous. Unfortunately, in today’s global society and cheap airfares, this has changed somewhat with the coastlines to the north and south of Mombasa being highly developed. It is still possible to find secluded enclaves, however, and, in keeping with the improvements in standard of safari lodges, there are now some very exclusive and hidden lodges dotted discreetly along the coast.
Stretching approximately 100 kilometres out to the Tanzanian border. The most famous of its beaches being Diani, a truly awe-inspiring stretch of white powder beach which has steadily become more and more popular and developed. Beyond Diani is Shimba, possibly the best basing point for fishing and diving on the Kenyan coast. Running up to Malindi and then undeveloped until the Somali border, the northern coast is ideal for those looking to disappear. The region around Malindi and Watamu is, similar to Diani, both stunningly beautiful and beginning to become very built up, but there are still small villas and lodges that have kept a feeling of seclusion. Spanning from the south to the far north and ranging from the sand spit formations and protected lagoons of the north, to the inland waterways of Lamu and the Mangrove estuaries of the south. All of the islands have superb beaches and, generally, each has room in abundance with miles upon miles along which to wander.
