sea and sun in Malindi

by call_me_rhia

Malindi beach is a long sandy white beach that's perfect for swimming - at the right time of the day. Your beach activities will depend on the tide: at high tide you can swim everywhere - while at low tide it's a bit more tricky- but not impossible. There's a place called the jacuzzi where the water is constantly high enough to allow you to swim a bit - and there are also underwater "little streams" that turn the pool into a natural jacuzzi. Ask the local beach boys about it, and for a small fee they'll gladly take you to the exact place just a swimsuit

coral walks in Malindi and Watamu

by call_me_rhia

When the tide is out, the coral reef is in! This is both in Malindi and Watamu - but take not that the reef is much nicer in Malindi. It's possible to walk out and about there and admire the fishes that have been trapped in holes and left behind by the tide. We saw corals of every shape and size, some tame water snakes, poisonous sea-urchins, colourful little fishes - and hundreds of star fishes. They were sooooo amazing: grey, red, brown, green, black and blue; these colourful ones are even more spectacular if you turn them around: their back colour is different. Some star fishes were standing still, others were of a different sort and moved like spiders. Very fascinating. water shoes, or you'll cut your feet on corals

sea and sun in Watamu

by call_me_rhia

Watamu beach is a paradise about 20 kilometres and minutes from Malindi - by taxi of course. The beach is wide and white, the sea has all the hues and shades of blue and green, and at low tide you can walk to a little atoll/island nearby: the island of love. You can also see some large coral "mushrooms" which are very suggestive, and little coral pool filled with star fishes, shells and small colourful fishes. The good thing about Watamu is that you can lay in the water at low-tide, too. Between the beach and the island of love there's a little channel deep enough for you to sit in the water and relax. Watamu is really a place that makes you dream on, and on. Sidenote: you can use for free sun chairs at the sun palm hotel if you order a drink. swimsuit - water shoes are not too necessary (but pay attention not to step onto some coral)

Diving

by CCWalkabout

If you've never had a go or are a seasoned diver, the Kenyan coast is a fabulous place to dive. There is a fringing reef the length of the country and you can get a fabulous 6-10m dive and see stacks of fish. Outside the reef provides excelleny drift dives. Bring your own or hire. Many of the dive centres are large and well equiped.
