An often-overlooked beached destination, in favour of more popular islands, Kenya boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Their soft, silky sands merge into a sea of clear, turquoise waters that wrap around Kenya\u2019s coastline. Fringed by coconut palm trees, wild mangroves and white-washed beach resorts, you can easily pick any of its gorgeous beaches to laze on, grab a sundowner and watch the scarlet sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of our favourites:<\/p>\n<h2>Malindi Beach<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71114\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71114 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/malindi-beach.jpg\" alt=\"kenya beaches malindi\" width=\"800\" height=\"777\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koldaeva0607ao\/\">@koldaeva0607ao<\/a> via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The long stretch of beach in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/malindi\/flights\">Malindi<\/a> is an all-round fantastic beach. Its pristine, shimmering sands stretch for miles and it\u2019s perfect for long morning strolls or romantic sunset walks. Spend your day snorkelling just off the beach, or head a little further out for scuba diving, water-skiing and deep-sea fishing. Windsurfers and snorkellers can enjoy this slice of the Indian Ocean at Malindi Marine National Park, teeming with coral gardens, zebra fish and brightly-coloured starfish.<\/p>\n<p>As dusk settles, trade in your fins for dancing shoes as the nightlife comes alive at the scattered bars and clubs around this former Italian neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<h2>Watamu Beach &amp; Turtle Bay<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70834\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70834\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/kenya-beaches-watamu-beach.jpg\" alt=\"kenya beaches\" width=\"800\" height=\"706\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/turtlebaykenya\/\">@turtlebaykenya<\/a> via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just 15km from Malindi, Watamu Beach is one of Kenya\u2019s not-so-secret beaches.\u00a0 The coral reefs, whale sharks, leatherback turtles and manta rays that call these waters home makes it the ideal place for scuba diving.
