| The coast of Kenya
is some 700 km/430 mi long. The most popular areas for beach holidays are found south and
north of Mombasa,
around Malindi and on Lamu
Island. Hotels and beach resorts range from basic to luxurious.
Much of the coastline is sheltered by coral reefs, and there are white beaches and good sites
for snorkelling and diving. The Indian Ocean offers good deep-sea fishing opportunities.
If you don't combine your beach holiday with a full safari, there are a number of parks close
to the coast where you may go for day tours or shorter safaris, including good parks such
as Tsavo and Amboseli.
