Diani Beach is a long stretch of white sand on Kenya’s south coast, about 30 km south of Mombasa. Palm trees, coral reef and warm Indian Ocean water make it a popular way to rest after the early starts of a safari.
Things to do at Diani
- Beach days: swim, relax and walk along a reef-protected shore.
- Marine excursions: dolphin-watching and snorkelling trips to the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park are a popular day out.
- Watersports: kitesurfing, snorkelling, diving and paddle boarding.
- Wildlife on land: colobus monkeys live in the coastal forest, and Shimba Hills National Park is within reach.
