๐Nature, ๐Beach: Kwenda beach is located in the NNW of Zanzibar and easily accessible by boat or by foot. This stretch of beach has an array of activities on offer and is ideally balanced with options to enjoy the beach as a swimmer, snorkeler or sunbather.The reef creates a sheltered & shallow beach with white sand and warm kaleidoscopic water of turquoise & dark blue.The beach is mainly populated with various hotel guests.Unfortunately, this beach is brimming with โbeach boysโ: groups of vendors that hover up and down the beach.They sell trinkets & excursions to guests as they walk down to the ocean. They can be bothersome but for the most part seem to respond well to a polite decline.Occasionally these โbeach boysโ can be forcefully persistent, to the point of discomfort.๐ Note: Interestingly, some of these vendors are local villagers with specific permits from their โzone counsellorsโ to operate along their home beach. The initiative was created as an effort to assist locals with participation in tourism. They wear lanyard ID cards to distinguish themselves as reputable local service providers / sellers.The rouge vendors without ID cards are (generally) not Zanzibarian.These โbeach boysโ are not unique to Kwenda beach, they are found on most of the public beaches and/or where there are tourists.Beach beauty: 5โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
Water close to beach is very busy with Jetski and boats. Proper swimming is not possible without risking getting rolled over by the vessels. Beach is - still - beautiful and water is - still - clean enough. Tides do not affect the possibility to take a bath. However, i saw fishermen passing on a boat dumping plastic waste right into the water. There needs to be more awareness amongst the local community about their environment they depend on. We had to enter a hotel area with deck chairs since the beach boys will not leave you in alone.
Really an amazing beach. Note that you will be talked to by someone trying to sell you something every 2 minutes. The trick here is: stay friendly & talk to them - itโs so much fun to know these people, and even if you do t buy anything, they always stay friendly. So donโt worry, Hakuna Matata !
The beach its amazing and colorful, I love the wide long sand at the beach feeling the sand powder
Stunning beach. I need to stay near this beach at some time

Nice beach

Beautiful place to be
Book local tours and you will be satisfied, especially Safari, taken in not as a tour operator in the void, where there are few animals, but where there are really many and you will see them all. Were 04.02.2022.
Nice beach. Very wide sand line. There is no ebb on this beach. Rather, they are not felt due to the great depth. Very gorgeous sunsets. Only boats floating on their heads almost off the coast are embarrassed. A lot of traders and pseudo-Masaev molested. Beach for an active party. For relaxation is not suitable.
Very pretty beach a very pretty sunset but a little too touristy for my point of view
We didnt find this stretch of beach so nice. Rather natural, used by fishermen. The beach is wider like in Nungwi. From the hotels to the sea at low tide it is safe 100 m.
Superb white sand beach with the view of the sunset, magnificent.
Very good, small bars and restaurants, you can eat well everywhere and the drinks are great ๐๐ฅ๐ฝ
Sublime paradise beachVery nice place, happiness
Kendwa and Nungwi are the two most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. They are located next to each other in the north of the island.
The beach is very good: wide, clean, with good sand. For this 5 stars. Just like the beach. But the infrastructure is so-so - there is nowhere to eat at all. For a meal is in Nungwi
Beautiful beach but no shade
Beautiful beach. Swim carefully, it is better in aquashuuses.
The best beach on the island.
Wide beaches. Walking 800 meters from the hotel to the sea, its hell in the heat! But the place and the ocean are beautiful
Very nice, super, turquoise water
