Kendwa Beach has two advantages over many of the other Zanzibar beaches, firstly it faces west and concequently the sun sets over the ocean and secondly its waters are deep the result of which is that the sea doesn't receed hundreds of metres at low tide. Swimming is possible 24/7. It is also much longer than the beaches at Nungwi that all become tiny at high tide. 

The best dives sites of the island can be accessed from our dive centre partner at Kendwa on comfortable, fast, dual-engined boats that are fully-equipped with safety equipment.
