There aren't a lot if good things to say about Mogadishu. The airport is a shakedown, the roads are atrocious but this beach is nice. The water is very choppy and you must watch out for sharks.

Well I don't know what seems to be the problem with the other review, but I didn't get stabbed actually I found people very welcoming and open to dialogue.
One thing I learnt , if you want something that you don't find, it means it doesn't exist !
Also fantastic street food. Bought myself some lunch from a guy for approx $1 including a bottle of water and a pair of leather sandals for $5 that are definetly more comfortable than $500 sandals. Will definetly go again and recommend it to all !
