Watamu

Kenia

Temple Point Resort is located in a rural setting and on the beach in Watamu. Visit Ruins of Gedi and Portuguese Chapel, some local attractions. If you want to enjoy beautiful nature, head to Watamu Beach and Watamu Marine National Park. Discover the local wildlife on a safari or try your luck on a game drive and wildlife spotting...

The small coastal town of Watamu lies to the north of Mombasa and is famous for Watamu Marine National Park.

The park features three sparkling bays, white-sand beaches and an underwater coral wonderland with one of the best snorkelling and diving experiences on the East African coast. This charming village is surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty; fringed by lush tropical rainforests and mangroves.

Visitors come here to spend lazy days on the beautiful beaches of Watamu and Turtle Bay, explore the Ruins of Gede and fish in the mangrove-like waterways of Mida Creek. Don't miss the chance to visit the nearby Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve to spot monkeys, elephants and a variety of rare bird species.

What makes Watamu an outstanding kite surfing destination are the two main wind seasons: The Kaskazi season extends from December to April, offering consistent winds with speeds of 15-22 knots. The Kuzi season from June to September provides the strongest winds ranging from 20-28 knots.
