Nungwi is synonymous with snorkelling and swimming along the vast coastline. The beach’s pristine waters with acres of coral reef are a hallmark for visitors who wish to have the best moments in the marine world.
Night falls in Nungwi bring out another side of the spectacular nature of this beach punctuated by a necklace of bars and restaurants. Under the sky, the white sand along the beach glows brightly that it creates an impression of the second source of light.
At sunset, you can hop into a dhow and cruise the evening away with your loved one as you share special moments in the ocean usually inhabited by deep-sea fishing enthusiasts.
