Kendwa

(\”

Overview

\\n

Kendwa sits just south of Nungwi on Zanzibar\’s north coast, sharing the same tide-independent, swimmable beaches but with a noticeably quieter, more laid-back feel and fewer built-up developments. Its west-facing shoreline also makes it one of the best spots on the island to watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean.
