Watamu beach
Watamu is the state marine park where recreation provides for fusion with nature. Only not in a tent, but in rather comfortable modern hotels. But you will not see all inclusive services, night entertainment, and dancefloors. Visiting Watamu will bring you a wonderful possibility to see the life of African nature from the inside.

Beach description
Watamu is a spacious beach with white sand, buried in verdure of mangroves, where hundreds species of birds nest. Coral reefs, that are called the best in kenya, are located close to the beach. Local beaches are also loved by green sea turtles that lay eggs on the beach.
Diving here is stunning: you can meet devilfish and squids, or even the whale shark. People who don't like adrenaline buzz can tour in the neighborhood in a boat with glass bottom.
Gaggles of monkeys are always running rampant near hotels, and children love communicating with them. Monkeys are very friendly but they can also bite, so you should look after your children..
