Nungwi & Kendwa (north)
Best swimming most of the day, lively sunsets, dive shops, and a social scene. Ideal after a dusty safari when you want easy ocean access.
Paje (east)
Kitesurfing capital with wide tidal flats, beach bars, and a younger vibe. Low tide walks are huge; swimming windows follow the tide chart.
Jambiani (east)
Quieter than Paje, village feel, long beaches, and beautiful light. Perfect for slow honeymoons and digital detox.
Stone Town first?
Spend 1 night in Stone Town for history and food, then move to a beach. Or reverse if your flight lands late.
