Latest reviews on Zanzibar North's beaches

Nungwi Beach
10 Lysander

Zanzibar boasts some of the clearest beaches, and this particular one is no exception. However, the constant presence of hawkers can be a bit bothersome as they try to sell you something every couple of minutes. Despite this, it is still a beautiful beach overall.

Kendwa Beach
10 Lysander

This beach is definitely the best place to catch a sunset! We visited one evening while staying on the opposite side of the island, where the sunset isn't visible. It was a great experience watching the sunset from the beach, with locals performing dances for us. The beach offers a variety of activities, shops, restaurants, and bars that are lacking in other parts of the island.

Kiwengwa Beach
10 Nexa Jiv

This beach is like paradise, with endless stretches of soft, powdery sand. The tides play a big role in the scenery here - at low tide, you can walk around and discover the amazing underwater world. The color of the ocean changes constantly, making it a truly splendid sight. However, there are some downsides to be aware of, such as the issue of garbage (which is unfortunately common in places like Africa, Asia, and even Italy) and the occasional pushy vendors trying to sell you things. Overall, it's a great spot for relaxing, unwinding, and finding some peace and quiet.
