Nungwi Beach: the best things to do
Tanzania, one of Africa's most precious gems, is celebrated for its magnificent biodiversity, stunning beaches, and world-renowned national parks. Among its natural wonders, the beaches particularly stand out for their beauty and uniqueness, crowning the most exquisite seaside resorts in Tanzania. The most iconic of these is Nungwi Beach in Zanzibar.
Top things to do at Nungwi Beach
Nungwi Beach in Zanzibar is one of Tanzania's most famous tourist spots. It is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, white sands and breathtaking natural surroundings. This earthly paradise offers the perfect holiday full of activities, such as:
- Relaxing on the beach, enjoying a stroll on the fine sand or a refreshing swim in the clear waters.
- Snorkelling and diving to explore the coral reef and see all the abundant marine life.
- Taking boat trips to explore the open seas, maybe even at sunset, for those beautiful and unique views.
- Trying water sports like kite surfing.
- Experiencing the local culture with a trip to Nungwi village. You can explore the bustling fish market, watch the local fishermen at work, and visit the amazing Nungwi natural aquarium, known as the "Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond". This conservation project offers a unique opportunity to interact with these wonderful animals in their natural environment.
Other destinations in Tanzania
Tanzania has countless beaches, and their beauty extends far beyond Nungwi to many other destinations, all waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
Nakupenda Island
Nakupenda Island and its namesake beach can almost be described as a 'hidden paradise'. This is because this small strip of pristine white sand only appears at low tide. Still, when it does, it offers a unique experience with surreal turquoise waters, a stunning seabed rich in shells and corals, and the delightful company of giant sea turtles.
Kiwengwa Beach
One of the best spots for relaxation, water sports and snorkelling is Kiwengwa Beach, home to the beautiful VOI Kiwengwa Resort. This charming establishment offers top-notch services for a dreamy stay on this stretch of paradise-like white sand framed by turquoise waters and a vibrant coral reef.
Kendwa Beach
Not far from Nungwi is Kendwa Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. During the day, it's perfect for families with children due to its clear and calm waters. In the evening, it transforms into the ideal spot for those looking for fun, often hosting large parties with DJ sets.
Pemba Island
Pemba Island is another marvel of the Zanzibar archipelago and offers a more intimate stay, in addition to its typical white beaches and crystal-clear waters. It's a quieter but equally extraordinary island.
