What will you see and do? 

Nakupenda Beach is a nature reserve that translates to “I love you” in Swahili. Popular among honeymooners and lovers, this stretch of paradise is also a favored visiting spot for tourists staying in nearby Zanzibar City. It is known for its pristine white sandbank, from which you can gain panoramic views that stretch endlessly over the Indian Ocean.

However, its main attraction is its bountiful waters, filled with a myriad of marine creatures. From vibrantly-colored starfish lining the seabed to cuttlefish and pipefish, there are plenty of critters to be found in the seas surrounding the sandbank. In order to see this wealth of sealife, you should take a day tour to Nakupenda Beach as early as possible, when the majority of marine life is most active.

While there are no landmarks or monuments to explore at Nakupenda Beach, its barren shores are what draw visitors in, looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy swimming & sunbathing, sandbank relaxing, testing tropical fruits, and fresh seafood lunch.
