For those who lead a busy and stressful life a break at the coast is the ideal holiday. If you have been on safari, you will certainly enjoy a few days relaxing at the beach, taking in the sun and dining out on the delicious seafood that comes straight from these waters.
The coast has much to offer with a variety of activities and water sports including exploring the underwater marine world of the reefs that lie off its shores. The theme here is definitely one of 'doing as much or as little as you like'.
From the peaks of Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, to the open savannah plains the thrill of seeing the animals in their own natural environment roaming freely through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world is a truly breathtaking experience. The excitement as you search for the 'Big Five' and many other animals, to capture them on film is truly unforgettable.
From the coast to the plains, the combination of safari and beach makes a unique holiday experience.
The strings of islands that run up the Kenyan coast, the main ones being Wasini, Chale, Lamu, Funzi Manda, Pate, Kiwayu and Mombasa itself are all worth a visit. Apart from their beach and ocean attractions, most of them have some archaeological interest which is also a constant theme on the mainland: the whole coast is full of ruins fort, Mosques, tombs and even whole towns including Gedi Ruins in Malindi. The beaches have the most beautiful coral reefs in the world the three most spectacular zones, enclosed in Marine National Parks, are far to the south off Wasini Island, the area between Watamu and Malindi and the extreme north off Kiwayu Island.
The Spice Island of Zanzibar is worth visiting. In the legendary Stone Town of Zanzibar, an island whose very name evokes East Africa's exotic past is by its nature a historical site.

Beach Holiday Locations
Mombasa City
Mombasa is Kenya's second largest city and has a rich history dating back
over 1500 years when it started as a trading port for merchant ships from
the Orient, Arabi and Europe. The Portugese explorer, Vasco Da Gama, landed
here in 1498 and established a Portugese colony at the coast.
There are a range of hotels to the north and south of Mombasa, known as the
North and South coast respectively.
Mombasa North Coast Beaches
These are beaches to the immediate north of Mombasa, upto and including the
Kilifi beaches. The beaches include Nyali, Bamburi and Shanzu and Kikambala.
There are many hotels along this stretch though the concentration of the
hotels thins out while moving towards Kilifi. There are various activities
on offer ranging from nature trails to fishing and golf.
Mombasa South Coast
To get to " South Coast" from Mombasa, one takes the Ferry across a narrow
channel, usually a colourful experience owing to lots of noise and bustle of
the swahili people as they go about their daily business.
South Coast is generally a quiter and cleaner stretch of coastline than the
North coast. Beaches include Diani, Tiwi and Gazi, leading upto the Pemba
area. Accommodation varies from hotels to cottages.
Lamu
Lamu is a small, historic coastal town, with narrow winding streets, old
mosques, colourful markets and uses donkeys and dhows for transport rather
