Bamburi Beach
The liveliest long sandy beach on the north coast, with resorts and beach bars clustered together. Locals crowd in on weekends, giving it a vibrant, everyday atmosphere.
Bamburi Beach stretches for several kilometers north of Nyali and is one of the densest resort stretches on Mombasa's north coast. White sand and palm trees line the shore, and the lagoon suits swimming at high tide. You can take a glass-bottom boat or canoe out to sea. At the southern end, Kenyatta Public Beach (around Pirates Beach) draws large crowds of local families on weekends, lively and full of local life. Many seaside bars and restaurants line the coast, and the evenings are lovely. The beach is about 12 km from the city center and can be combined with a visit to Haller Park on the same day. Keep your belongings safe, and don't walk alone on the beach at night.
