Explore abundant underwater life at Watamu National Marine Park, Kenya's first such park featuring over 600 species of colorful fish and other sea creatures. With coral reefs and gardens only about 300 m (984 ft) from the shore, you will encounter an explosion of colors during your snorkeling trip, both under and above the water--cultivated gardens, shambas, and bush housing shelter over 100 species of birds along the shore. You can spot turtles and dugongs as well. Sunbathe on white sandy beaches or go water skiing and windsurfing. Or, book a glass-bottom boat tour with frest-caught seafood meals.
