Michamvi Kae Beach

Michamvi Kae

Kae Beach on the west side of the Michamvi Peninsula, facing Chwaka Bay. It is one of the few places on the east coast where you can watch the sun set over the sea, and the beach bars are lively in the evening.

Most of the east coast only offers sunrises, but Kae Beach on the west side of the Michamvi Peninsula faces Chwaka Bay, where you can watch the sun sink into the bay in the evening. Beach bars and restaurants line the sand, and at low tide you can walk out to the shallows to take photos. It is about a 15-minute drive from Rock Restaurant, and the two are often combined in one day: have seafood at Rock at midday, then come here for the sunset. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Stone Town.
