Watamu Beach Description
Watamu Beach is located about 90 kilometers to the north of Mombasa. I visited the beach three years ago when we were on a family holiday. It is a serene place along the coast of the Indian Ocean. This is a destination for tourists, local visitors, and travelers. The climate of the areas is hot and humid. The beach feels like a heated microwave most of the time, which has been turned offer after heating a meal. There is a moment when the beach is quiet, a cool breeze blowing across the shiny sand. Watamu beach is sunny, and several sea animals visit here. During summer, whales, dolphins, seagulls, and other types of fish visit the shore. They can be observed from the shore or through boat riding. Other scenic events taking place in Watamu beach is water skiing, especially when the winds are strong. This is a major tourist attraction in the region.
People from all parts of the world visit the place to enjoy the breeze as the cool blue water lap their feet. When the sun is overhead, many individuals bask in the sand, turning from side to side and diving in the lush blue waters. The waves are usually strong during the afternoon. There is a strong roaring of the wind at this time, and it is the best time for those who love skiing. Swimmers also have their time during this moment.
