Watamu Marine National Park, Watamu
A Watamu Marine National Park, as the southernmost reach of the Malindi Marine National Park is known, is one of the best places in Kenya for diving and snorkeling. The reef, a mere 300 meters from shore, is home to a myriad of marine life. At low tide, take a glass bottom boat tour or snorkeling right from the shore. Catch sight of whale and mako shark on a dive along coral cliffs. Spot giant Rock Cod as they hover at the waters meet near the mouth of Mida Creek.
