"Kite-surfing, snorkeling, and relaxing in Watamu Nestled between pristine beaches and lushforest, the peaceful town of Watamu is ground zero for water sports in Kenya . One of Kenya’s most renowned kite-surfing schools, Tribe Watersports, is based here and offersthree–day courses to get you skimming the warm waves of the Indian Ocean in no time. If you're happierunderwater, Watamu will also appeal. A maze of rich coral reefs skirts the shoreline, so giant turtles and exotic fish can beseen year-round, and at certain times of the year majestic whale sharks pass through this region, making ita snorkeling and diving haven. For accommodation, check out the eccentric and charming Watamu Treehouse."
