Kendwa Beach, located on the northwestern coast of Zanzibar, is a true tropical paradise that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities and is one of the most popular beaches in Zanzibar with many accommodation options ranging from budget to impressive luxury. Known for its powdery white sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets, Kendwa was recently voted the best beach in Africa and indeed the 4th best beach in the entire world. High praise indeed. Unlike most beaches of Zanzibar, Kendwa is not affected by strong tidal variations. It is the ideal beach if you are looking to lounge around and swim all day long, without having to walk a long way out to reach the ocean at low tide. Because the ocean at Kendwa is so calm, it is not really a suitable beach for kiting or other similar water sports requiring wind. For wind enthusiasts, the east coast beaches are recommended, with Paje Beach considered the home of kitesurfing in Zanzibar. Kendwa is slightly more laid back than nearby Nungwi but is still a well known tourist area with some parties over the weekends and around the full moon.
