Beach description
The shore here is very beautiful: white sand and luxuriant vegetation. The sand bottom is absolutely safe even during the ebbs. Now, beaches are desert, although near some hotels, you can rent sling chairs and umbrellas, and relax on a hammock under the shadow of palm trees. This place is not overcrowded, unlike Mombasa beaches. You may relax in silence, try snorkeling or diving.
A luxury eco hotel was situated here some time ago, but Somalian pirates that were terrorizing these waters 7 years ago scared tourists away. This place will be perfect for a one-day tour.
You can get to Kiwayu from Lamu island from which water taxis go to the beach. Charters fly to Lamu from Nairobi, the capital of the country.
