Watamu Marine Park

An underwater haven of corals

On the north Kenyan coast lies the beautiful Watamu Marine Park, a haven for lovers of nature and adventure. It is famous for its rich biodiversity, crystal-clear waters, and thriving coral reefs. Interesting marine life that one is likely to find in this place includes the following: green turtles, colored fish, and even dugongs. Among the features are the coral gardens, one of the best on this coastline, and an underwater playground for both snorkelers and divers.

In addition to the marine wonders, Watamu Marine Park has plenty of activities going on for all sorts of visitors. The white-sand beaches are in pristine condition to relax on; water sports lovers can enjoy different activities such as snorkeling, water skiing, and windsurfing. Glass-bottom boat tours on the coral reefs and a look at marine life involve no wetness for the non-swimming guests.

Other points of interest that make parks particularly interesting are the Gede Ruins: a site for ancient history and a very peculiar Swahili architecture surrounded by overgrown remains. The park forms part of the extensive, but larger complex of marine and tidal habitats essential for important conservation, sustaining an exceptional assemblage of bird and marine life. Whether you want to have some relaxation on the beach, a great aquatic adventure, or even explore the history of the area, Watamu Marine Park will be a great place to spend your time. This is an ideal place for tourists who would want to relax as well as explore in an ideal coastal environment.
