Mombasa Beach

A mile or so from the pier, away from all of the industrial noises of loading equipment, is the Mombasa beach. It stretches out over a good 20 or so miles, white sand and turquoise water making this area somewhat busy, but near as busy as the strip or the square. Spread throughout the length of the beach are various palm trees and large trees, uprooted and dead- the sun and salty air bleaching the wood white and making for surprisingly study play-areas for the kids. The water is crystal clear, allowing you to see down to the very depths up until it gets to 105 feet. Many tropical fish and other marine life are found in abundance, usually hanging around the reefs only a good 40 or so feet from the shore.
