Watamu is a charming coastal town situated on Kenya's north coast, along the Indian Ocean. Much like its neighbouring town, Malindi, Watamu offers a mix of beach fun, marine adventures, and nature experiences in a coastal town known for its relaxed atmosphere and conservation efforts. Watamu is home to the Watamu Marine National Park, which is great for underwater exploration and coral reef conservation.
It's a popular spot for activities like snorkelling, scuba diving, and water sports. The town also has a long sandy beach for relaxation and swimming. There are turtle conservation projects, and you can often see baby turtles being released into the sea. The area includes Mida Creek for birdwatching and Arabuko Sokoke Forest for hiking and wildlife viewing. You can also experience local culture and markets in Watamu.
