Small village surrounded by the best beaches on the Kenyan coast, plenty of shopping for souvenirs also many local eateries and Italian restaurants.

Verified traveller

Beware of the cost of any boat related trips.There is a $16 per head charge if you go afloat in the Marine Park. There is also a lot of plastic pollution immediately in front of the hotels beach caused by the hundreds of decaying plastic sacks.
