Kenya's coast

Kenya is a great place to kick back and relax!! The place i recommend for a relaxing holiday in the sun is the Kenyan coast!!



Amongst the unspoilled palm fringe of the coast are many different areas all with pure white sand and crystal clear water. There are many historic features along the East african coast of Kenya such as Mida ruins in Gede. There are many mixed cultures and beautifully carved Arab doors in the north coast of Kenya.



The coast of Kenya is divided into five main places Lamu, Malindi, Watamu, Kilifi and Mombasa. All very popular with the tourists! Lamu is more basic with only boats and Donkeys for transport. Its very beautiful and mainly Arabic people in this area. Travelling more South to Malindi a very crowded little town Packed with Boda bodas (Taxi on a bike) and Tuk tuks (small 3 wheel motorbike sort of cars). This area is very popular with the Italians as they all start up businesses here and spend half thier year in Kenya and the other half in Italy. Moving further down the coast is a smaller village called Watamu that is very popular with the white Kenyans as they all meet here for fishing trips. Watamu has a creek further down the south of it which is great for water sports. Kilfi is more of a calming relaxing area just to kick back and chill. And the main built up part of the coast is Mombasa with many hotels shopping centres and a huge port.
