Bagamoyo Beach
A long sandy beach along the coast north of the Old Town, lined with hotels; at dusk you can watch dhows come in and fishermen haul their nets.
The coastline running north from the Old Town is lined with seaside resorts and restaurants. The beach slopes gently, making it good for walking, watching the tides and seeing dhows return at dusk. The Indian Ocean has a large tidal range, so the beach extends far out at low tide, and swimming is only suitable at high tide. The water is somewhat murky due to the nearby river mouth. Non-guests can use the beach facilities after spending money at the hotel restaurants. Avoid walking alone on isolated beaches at night.
