Must Know Before You Visit Jambiani Beach
Tidal Tip : For optimal swimming and stunning views, go to the beach during high tide. During low tide, the water pulls back, revealing expansive coral fields and kelp. During this, you can watch local women cultivating seaweed to learn about the local culture and the effort they put in.
