Travelers who are planning to have vacations in the northern part of the island should pay attention to Nungwi
Beach. That’s the complete opposite of quiet Kizimkazi. Active tourists are sure to enjoy this part of coast, as a variety of entertainment here is just huge. The beach has an old lighthouse with an observation deck, a great aquarium and water sports center. In the immediate vicinity of the coast there is amazingly beautiful coral reef attracting thousands of divers and snorkelers to these places. Another important feature of this sandy beach is close proximity to popular night clubs and bars, so there are always lots of young people resting at the coast.
Nearby is the wild Kendwa
Beach, which is one of the most inaccessible on the island. It won’t be easy to get there by yourself, as the road passes through a very difficult place. Travelers who aren’t afraid of obstacles have an opportunity to relax at a surprisingly quiet and beautiful beach. Local sand looks like sugar, that’s why the water off the coast also appears pure white. Going on vacation, be sure to take all the necessary staff and water. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
