Indian Ocean coast

Diani & the Coast

White sand, warm water and Swahili culture after the dust of safari.

Diani Beach, south of Mombasa, offers long stretches of white sand and a coral-reef-protected lagoon.

Further north, Watamu, Malindi and Lamu add marine parks, ruins and a deeper look at Swahili history.

When to go

Warm year-round; the long rains (roughly April to June) can be wetter.
