Michamvi’s beaches are the firm focus of this paradisiacal peninsula.
From its rugged tip, where you can view sunrise over the Indian Ocean and sunset over Chwaka Bay’s glassy waters, its spectacular shoreline runs south as a continuation of the East Coast’s palm-fringed coast.
As on all of Zanzibar’s East Coast, the beach slopes very little. Consequently, when the tide is out, the water retreats a long way, pausing swimming from the shore but allowing for unique inter-tidal exploration along the exposed reef. Guided trips showcase stunning starfish, clams, and colorful tropical fish and offer a fascinating insight into reef life.
