Why visit Kendwa?
Deep water close to shore at every tide makes Kendwa one of the few beaches on the island that never empties out at low tide — and its Full Moon parties are a long-running island tradition.
Highlights
- Swim regardless of the tide — a real rarity on this island.
- Watch the sunset over open water, with nothing blocking the horizon.
- Join (or simply watch) a Full Moon Party if the timing lines up with your visit.
- Take a short ride up the coast to Nungwi for the dhow-builders and the lighthouse.
