Advantages and features of a beach holiday in Zanzibar
In Zanzibar, it is always summer, so beach holidays never really end. Of course, there is a rainy season when beach relaxation is less comfortable, usually in April–May and November.
The ocean water is warm, reaching 25–28 degrees Celsius.
Zanzibar boasts beautiful beaches with white sand and clear waters. One of the most popular is Nakupenda Beach. Although small, it is very clean and can accommodate around three hundred people. The sandy surface, easy water entry, and many leisure activities (diving, boat trips, etc.) make it very attractive.
Another beach worth mentioning is Jambiani, located in the southeast of the island. The coast is covered with fine white sand that stays cool even in extreme heat. The seabed consists of coral slabs, so extra care is needed when entering the water; with special footwear, everything is fine. In return, you can admire spectacular tides stretching for kilometers.
