Off the Mombasa-Malindi Highway, you’ll find the beach known as Shanzu. The water here is clear and refreshing, and the sand is white and dotted with coconut palm trees. Shanzu Beach is home to a number of hotels and resorts, so you’ll have no trouble finding local accommodation or a place to dine on delicious seafood each day. If you head to Shanzu Beach, pay close to attention to the tides. The beach looks completely different and low tide and high tide. If possible, plan a walk along the coast at low tide, because you can go for miles on foot in either direction.
