This spot is known for its long and shallow sandbanks, which creates perfect wave-like swells for wave riders. The best months to visit are from April to October, when the winds are strong and steady.
In addition to kitesurfing, Watamu offers a variety of activities for the adventurer. From snorkeling and diving in the crystal-clear waters to birdwatching in the mangrove forests and exploring the local culture, there is something for everyone.
