A small town located 150 km from Mombasa City and 15 km from Malindi town, its heritage dates back to the 13th century. Once an outpost of Gedi, now Watamu is an ideal tourist destination and fishing. Watamu is situated on a small peninsula within the curve of Mida Creek and is surrounded by small coves, bays and broad lagoons. The coastline is fringed with coral reef keeping the waters calm and crystal clear
Watamu is blessed by long, white sand beaches and protected natural reserves home to unique species both above and below the surface of the Indian Ocean, from coral reefs to coastal creeks to forests alive with birds.
