Nungwi Beach

Perched on the northernmost tip of the island, Nungwi Beach is the vibrant soul of Zanzibar’s coastline. What truly sets it apart is a gift from nature: its minimal tidal shifts mean the stunning, turquoise water is always ready for a swim, a feature you won’t find on the eastern coast. By day, its powder-fine white sand is a perfect stage for sunbathing and adventure, offering world-class diving and snorkeling. But Nungwi is more than just a pretty beach; it’s a living village. You can still witness the ancient craft of dhow building, where skilled artisans construct traditional sailing vessels on the shore. As evening approaches, this is the place to be for Zanzibar’s most spectacular sunsets, best enjoyed from the deck of a dhow. It’s the perfect, exhilarating conclusion to a mainland Zanzibar safari.
