Lamu Seafront
A seafront strip on the east side of the old town, with a jetty, cafés, seafood stalls and moored dhows lined up in a row.
The seafront road (on the outer side of Harambee Road) links the jetty, the museums and many restaurants and guesthouses. In the evening it is a great spot to watch the sunset, drink freshly squeezed juice and eat grilled seafood. Boats to the airport, Shela and Manda all depart from here, and boatmen will approach you to offer trips, so agree on the price in advance. Street lighting at night is limited, so watch your step and keep an eye on your belongings.
