Arica Palm Watamu is the perfect base to explore these amazing local attractions.
Watamu is world-famous for its Marine National Park. The coral gardens are teeming with colorful fish, making it a top destination for snorkeling and diving. The beaches themselves—Garoda, Turtle Bay, and Jacaranda Bay—offer powdery white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Just a short drive away is the Arabuko Sokoke Forest, the largest remaining coastal forest in East Africa. It's a birdwatcher's paradise and home to the rare Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew. You can also visit the Bio-Ken Snake Farm to learn about local reptiles or take a sunset dhow cruise on Mida Creek.
Step back in time at the Gede Ruins, a 12th-century historical ruin of a Swahili village nestled in the forest. It's a mysterious and enchanting historical site. Watamu also offers a vibrant culinary scene with fresh seafood and authentic Italian gelato and pizza, reflecting the area's unique cultural blend.
