Masoko Pwani
A long sandy coast with a fishing village about 3 km north of town, where coconut palms and dhows create classic Swahili coastal scenery, and visitors are few
Masoko Pwani is about 3 kilometers north of Kilwa Masoko. It is a long sandy coastline with a fishing village, where dhows are moored under the coconut palms. In the early morning you can watch fishermen haul in their nets and dry their fish. It is more open and peaceful than the beach in the town center. A few eco-lodges operate here, and they can arrange snorkeling trips or dhow cruises. You can reach it by motorbike taxi or on foot from town. Bring plenty of drinking water and sun protection.
