Jaw's Corner

Jaws Corner is a historical political gathering area in Stone Town. Now evolved more into a social gathering space free for all locals as well as visitors.

Pretty cool spot to watch locals hangout, is the election going on at the moment so they’re quite intense and passionate even though I know The Zanzi bar candidate is going to lose but they still have some Hope. They represent the parties with colours here and purple is fancy bar candidate colour

Fascinating place in the very heart of Stone Town. It was named after the mural showing a shark from the “Jaws” movie. Local men meet here to watch football and discuss current matters. The flag in the middle of the square represents the opposition party ACT - Wazalendo.

One can see the whole of Stone Town here. Try the local coffee while sitting on a bench at this small square and listen to news updates and arguments flying around, watch the people walking by, as if aimlessly and feel part of The 3D Matrix! The most sought-after vantage point is next to the 400V electricity box.

A truly locals-only hang out, with countless events and gatherings. Visitors are always made to feel welcome too!

Thai is a must! Amazing commemorative paint within amazing stone town

The owners obviously had a sense of humour. Lovely cool.open air oerfect for yhe hot nights. Lovely views. The staff were wonderful and very honest when dealing with the confusion of rates of exchange from TSH to USD. Food was excellent. Would def recommend it.

This corner is full of happy people. Good vibes, we were even taught a dance by the locals. A lovely corner to run into as you explore Stone Town.
