Beach time
Tanzania's beaches range from lively stretches of white sand to quiet bays with almost no one around. Here are the places we suggest adding to a safari.
Beach
Zanzibar has long white beaches on every coast. Nungwi and Kendwa in the north are known for swimming at any tide and for sunsets, while Paje and Jambiani on the east coast are known for kitesurfing.
Beach
The reef around Mnemba Island is one of the most popular snorkelling and diving areas near Zanzibar, with clear water and many reef fish.
Beach
Pemba has quiet beaches and small bays, with far fewer visitors than Zanzibar. It suits travellers who want a peaceful stay and good diving.
Beach
Mafia Island has calm beaches and a marine park for diving and snorkelling. It is a quiet choice away from the busier Zanzibar coast.
Beach
Chumbe is a small protected island with a coral reef and a quiet beach, good for a snorkelling day trip from Zanzibar.
