About Kenyan Coast

The Kenyan coast stretches for over 500 kilometres along the Indian Ocean, offering white coral sand beaches, turquoise water, and living Swahili coastal culture. Mombasa — East Africa's oldest port — anchors a coastline dotted with coral reef marine parks, ancient Arab trading settlements, and some of the finest beach resorts in Africa. Malindi, Watamu, and Lamu Island each offer distinct character within a single spectacular coastline.
