10 Beaches in Zanzibar Island That You Shouldn't Miss

May 13, 2022 Velvet Mowry

The Zanzibar Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is a breathtaking spot to escape from the world. You’ll enjoy clear, turquoise-blue water; shallow sandbars perfect for wading; and many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists. Explore the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old quarter. Or just go beach to beach between tiny fishing villages—each one's better than the next.

in general, I really liked the rest in Zanzibar. many impressions. were a large family with three children. highly recommend to visit. The ocean played with different colors, although there were ebb and flow. during low tide, the mini zoo turned out straight and we walked with the children and watched sea animals.

It is a nice place for many kinds of activities. Mainly I came for kitesurfing. It is a good kite spot with some disadvantages: some obstractions like a boats in front of the beach, some seaweed farms and sea urchins which you can spot during low water time.

If you want to explore the sea world then this is a good place to start. Once the tide goes out you can literally walk the ocean bed for as long as you can imagine! Star fish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins (wear aqua shoes) because there are many sea urchins and you definitely don’t want to step on one! There are a lot of great cafes on this beach so you are in for a lot of fun! Kayaking, snorkeling, and other water sports! Great beach to run!
