Jimbizi Beach lies just east of the center of Kilwa Masoko. It is a fine white-sand beach facing the bay, with a few beach guesthouses and small restaurants dotted along it. In the evening you can watch fishing boats return and local people playing football. At low tide the water is shallow and the shoreline recedes a long way. At high tide it is better for swimming. The town market is about a 10-minute walk away, and the beach is a good place to rest after visiting the ruins. Local customs are conservative, so please put your clothes back on before leaving the beach.
