Mtende Beach, situated on Zanzibar's southeast coast, is a quiet and warm rocky beach surrounded by ancient trees. Positioned in a big cove between two big rock formations, it's a great spot to watch the tides change, with white sand and emerald-green water perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Visitors can enjoy a swing on the rocks and explore natural tide pools with fish and crabs.
As part of a small fishing village, Mtende Beach is vital for the locals. When the tide is low, take a stroll by going down the stairs to explore the beach. When it's high tide and the water reaches the stairs, opt for a boat ride to enjoy a swim along the coast. Near Mtende Beach, you'll find interesting attractions like caves, big baobab trees, a special palm tree with two branches, and the chance to see dolphins. Consider a day trip to visit Mtende Beach for its unique beauty and coastal village lifestyle.
Mobile Network Tip : Phone service is limited in the area for most carriers, but there's Wi-Fi at one restaurant if you require it. It's a good idea to set a pickup time with your driver before parting ways since communication can be tricky once you're there. This also makes the beach an ideal spot to disconnect from the outside world.
