This beach is an absolute gem! The picturesque scenery is simply stunning, and the refreshing breeze is the cherry on top. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, as it's not overrun with crowds. And if you're feeling adventurous, hop on a boat ride towards La Marina and Mtwapa Bridge for an awe-inspiring view that will take your breath away. Trust me, you won't regret it!

The parking situation at the beach is far from ideal and could definitely use some improvement. While the staff is accommodating, the prices are exorbitant and not very friendly to locals like myself. Additionally, the cost of drinks is outrageously high and the seafood is overpriced and often served lukewarm due to the constant sea breeze. It would be great if they could introduce hotpots to the menu to help alleviate this issue. Overall, the beach is only slightly above average and could benefit from some major upgrades.

The beach is a stunning location with an awe-inspiring view that will leave you speechless. Our journey from the Severin Hotel was a delightful experience aboard a charming wooden African boat. Upon arrival, we were directed to a fresh seafood restaurant located on the serene Copacabana Beach. While I cannot attest to the freshness of the seafood, I can confirm that it was overpriced and not worth the expense. Despite this, the beach itself is a mesmerizing and captivating destination that we spent the majority of our day exploring. As we departed, we felt a deep sense of melancholy, knowing that we were leaving behind such a beautiful and charming place.
