Diani, Watamu and Lamu — practical tips for sun, sand and Swahili culture.
Kenya's coastline stretches over 500km of Indian Ocean beaches. Here is how to plan a relaxed coastal escape.
Choose your base
Diani is ideal for first-timers — resorts, water sports and nightlife. Watamu is quieter with marine parks. Lamu offers heritage and a car-free island pace.
When to go
December–March and July–October are generally driest. April–May can bring long rains.
