Watamu is located in Kenya and is unquestionably one of the country's prettiest beaches. It's a very popular spot for wildlife lovers and nature enthusiasts due to the fact that lots of sea turtles can be seen coming ashore to nest on the beach and the surrounding Malindi Marine Reserve Park area. If you want to see some marine life up close and personal, this is also one of Africa's best snorkeling beaches and has proven popular with people of all ages for many years.
