Nungwi Beach

Beautiful white beach! Whether low tide or high tide you can still easily swim. We rang in the new year by Z Hotel area and it was incredibly packed. I mean it was hard to move. I still gave it 5 stars because I love the beach and wasn’t rating it for the crowd of the beach during count down to New Year. Sharing some photos from the NYE’s performance following the count down to New Year and fireworks show.

This beach offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere, but during low tide, the water recedes dramatically, sometimes moving more than 500 meters away from the shore. While this creates fascinating opportunities to explore the exposed seabed and discover marine life, it can make swimming and water-based activities less convenient during certain times of the day. For a more consistent beach experience with waters closer to the shore, it is recommended to visit the west coast of the island, where tides have a lesser impact, and you can enjoy swimming and other activities without interruption. The west coast also features calmer waters, stunning sunsets, and a variety of beachside amenities, making it an ideal choice for a more enjoyable seaside experience.

Beautiful beach on north Zanzibar, it is clean and close to everything. The times are not as drastic as in the rest of Zanzibar so you can swim while the times are low.

Beautiful beach, but awful experience due to constant harassment from the local "sellers." The majority of them are high as well, which makes the experience even worse. We walked the beach there and back, and we got stopped like 20x, answering the same stupid questions.

A great large beach at the northernmost tip of Zanzibar. There’s plenty of space to walk along the shore or swim along the coast. White sand, calm warm water. The tides can be quite noticeable, especially in the area where women collect seaweed. But that’s part of the charm — watching them work and walking through the shallow water yourself. You can swim, snorkel, ride horses, get a massage, or buy souvenirs, which are offered in abundance here. Nungwi has many restaurants, so you won’t go hungry. The best beachfront restaurants in Zanzibar are found here. You can enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, including a rarity for Tanzania — delicious desserts. The vendors and dressed-up Maasai can be a bit annoying, but it’s the most touristy place apart from Stone Town. The beach is suitable for families, couples, groups, and solo travelers. The weather is always nice, and the water of the Indian Ocean is warm.

It's beautiful, breathtaking beach Just heaven But beach boys and Masai ppl spoil it all You are walking wallet to them so don't be fooled with their nice approach. They all just want money. Zanzibar is overpriced. You will be told 4x times European price at first so do yourself a favour and negotiate and be firm in this or just dont come at all , but hey who doesn't want to see Zanzi . Lovely beach but we really escaped this paradise just in order to escape beach boys in more quiet place in Zanzi

A beautiful, bustling beach on Zanzibar 's north coast. Great sunsets, crystal clear water and white powdery sand. There is lots of seaweed in certain spots when the tide is low. The locals are friendly but most are sales people. A quick Asanti Hapana which means no thank you usually ends all sales pitches. Be polite to them, there are many. The alternative could be much worse.

I felt that it is overrated after swimming in this beach. It looks sandy but in fact it is rocky inside. It was not clean either as it had lots of seaweeds and jelly fish. I also stepped on sea ​​urchin and its spikes injured me. So, I don’t think Nungwi is one of the best. Maybe visually but not for swimming!
