With powdery white sand set against a stark blue backdrop, Nungwi Beach lies at the heart of a bustling fishing village. Its bright turquoise tide doesn't go too far out, making this a suitable place for swimming and snorkeling. Several local outfits on site arrange offshore snorkel and dive experiences. The beach's proximity to the main strip of eateries gives you a wide set of dining options, with views from the sand.

  • An amazing public beach with an even more amazing sunset! Many beach activities are available for the tourists who visit. It can get a bit crowded at times too. Suggest more security guards to be present as it got a bit frustrating for the women tourists who visit. Some of the local teens were being a bit too intrusive and evading personal spaces clicking pictures without permission. Acts like these tarnish the reputation of a tourist spot and the country as a whole. Overall a good spot to spend an afternoon.
  • This is the best beach in Zanzibar, due to its white sand beach, clear crystal water, beautiful hotels, restaurants and resorts. Also this place is good for sunset and many water sports. I recommend when you visit Zanzibar never miss Nungwi beach, I prefer you won't regret yourself.
  • Zanzabar has the most beautiful beaches and waters I've ever seen. And this is just one of them. I came to do Dolphins watching and a little bit of swimming and Fed the fishes.
  • Nungwi Beach was enjoyable with fewer tourist and amazing views of the Indian Ocean. A diversity of restaurants and shops are along the beach. Would strongly suggest to wear water shoes. For a solo female traveler, I would suggest to be cautious. The locals are beautiful and peaceful ppl. Enjoy
  • September 2004. Probably the best place to relax after the Kilimanjaro Climb. I did it the other way round. Scuba diving, food, beach all perfect.
