<h3>Trip Overview</h3>
Watamu is a small, serene town along Kenya&rsquo;s North Coast. The town is popular for its pristine turquoise water, glistening white beaches, and phenomenal coral gardens that make up its Marine park.&nbsp;
Albeit small (7km/4.35 miles), Watamu beach ranks as the third-best beach in Africa. Moreover, its coral reefs are home to over 1000 aquatic animal species, including the hawkbill turtles, three dolphin species (including the rare indo-pacific humpback dolphins), blacktip reef sharks, and rays. Also, Watamu&rsquo;s clear waters make its marine park the best snorkeling and diving point along the East African coast.
Besides its marine park and pristine beaches, another popular attraction in Watamu is Mida creek. The tidal creek hosts a phenomenal mangrove forest, home to various bird species.
Despite its reputation as a quaint, sleepy town, the town has a thriving nightlife. Watamu is a fantastic getaway offering you the best of nature, serenity, adventure, and social scenes.
