North-west coast
Kendwa is the postcard beach: broad, powder-soft and west-facing, with the calmest swimming in Zanzibar and a full-moon party tradition that draws people from across the island.
Little tidal retreat and no seaweed, so it works for lazy swimming days with children as well as sunset drinks.
Sunset dhow cruises leave straight off the sand, and Mnemba snorkelling or dolphin trips are picked up early morning from Kendwa hotels.
Nungwi's restaurants and dive centres are a 20-minute walk or five-minute drive along the coast.
