Kiwengwa Beach — Attraction in Zanzibar North

Beautiful beach with very fine sand, but it is better not to leave your resort. You are constantly being bothered by beach boys. If you have children with you, you will be regularly stalked by small children too, they beg and do not go away until you flee too your resort. Someone is watching from a distance and will come and pick up the child as soon as you walk into a resort, so it's all on purpose. Furthermore, I have never seen such a dead ocean floor, snorkeling is not an option since there isn't anything too see. This is maybe because fishing boats full of locals leave early in the morning to go fishing in front...

The beach itself / the sand is mesmerizing hence the 3 star review, Incredibly comfortable to walk on. Sadly that’s where the comfort ends since you are constantly being followed one after another and sometimes multiple at a time. The men will not stop they strongly encourage you to buy their merchandise and even when you ask multiple times for peace and to be left alone they are extremely persistent. It’s a big shame since we just wanted peace and to enjoy the beach. My girlfriend was very upset and it made a romantic time to a high stress state of mind...

Kiwengwa Beach is absolutely stunning! soft white sand, clear turquoise water, and a long stretch perfect for walking. It’s a really beautiful place. There are plenty of restaurants and beach bars nearby, so it’s easy to find good food or drinks with an ocean view. There were a lot of people constantly approaching to sell tours and souvenirs. We understand it’s part of local life, but it was a bit overwhelming when we just wanted to enjoy a peaceful walk. A friendly “no, thank you” usually works, but it does get tiring...
