Dhow sailing at sunset off the north coast of Zanzibar

North

Nungwi & Kendwa

The north tip: swimmable beaches at any tide, sunset dhows, dive centres and the island's liveliest nightlife.

Unlike the east coast, the north has deep water at low tide, so you can swim whenever you like.

Kendwa is quieter and better for sunset; Nungwi has the boats, the dive schools and the restaurants.
