Together the Watamu and Malindi Marine Parks protect one of Kenya’s tourist gems; miles and miles of white sandy beaches and coral reefs, exceptional diversity of marine life on the reefs, around the islands and in Mida Creek. More than 140 species of hard and soft corals feed a multitude of reef fish and turtles and these in turn attract the bigger fish and dolphins which together with the warm waters make this a wonderful destination for both divers and snorkelers.
