Top 10 Tanzania beaches for every kind of travel vibe"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Located just below the equator in the tropical belt, Tanzania is scattered with consistently stunning white beaches and turquoise waters, offering year-round sunshine. It\u2019s risen to become the African haven for beach lovers, who are drawn to its pristine shores to experience a little piece of paradise\u2026 and can you blame them?<\/p>\n<p>As you prepare to \u2018pole pole\u2019 (meaning \u2018slowly slowly\u2019) and take it easy in Tanzania, I\u2019ve put together a list of the top 10 Tanzania beaches to help you live your best laid-back life.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>About 56km north of Zanzibar Town lies the popular fishing village of Nungwi; the dhow-building centre of Zanzibar with a lively atmosphere. This beach rightfully earns its place on every self-respecting list of the best beaches in the world! Nungwi has a lot to offer, such as rustic beach bars, restaurants and beachfront guesthouses like the always welcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Kipepeo-Backpackers-Nungwi-Zanzibar\/Zanzibar\/280629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Kipepeo Backpackers Nungwi Zanzibar<\/a>. There are plenty of activities to choose from here too, from kayaking and snorkelling to sunset dhow (sailing boat) cruises. Dotted with palm trees, Nungwi beach attracts a variety of travellers including culture seekers, party lovers and beach bums, so it\u2019s not the beach for those after peace and quiet!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120110 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tanzania-beaches-majkl-velner.jpg\" alt=\"Tanzania beaches - nungwi beach - boat in ocean\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@majklvelner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@majklvelner<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>2. Kendwa Beach, Zanzibar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some 3km south of Nungwi lies the village of Kendwa, overlooking the nearby Daloni Island. The beach is beautiful, clean, and has no shortage of beach touts selling \u2018seafari\u2019 tours and souvenirs. It also offers a number of water sports and is home to the monthly Full Moon Party in Zanzibar, though it\u2019s nothing like the infamously wild Thai version. There are no fire skipping ropes, instead Maasai men casually walk down the beach wrapped in their traditional colourful fabrics. The gentle rolling waves are an open invitation for a safe swim, regardless of the tide.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Paje Beach, Zanzibar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Paje is on the east coast of Zanzibar and has a long strip of pure white sandy beach. The area experiences strong winds, making it the ideal spot to learn how to kitesurf. Paje beach is less busy than the other beaches on Zanzibar, but has a buzzing social atmosphere which is perfect for solo travellers. Extreme tides at Paje mean you can walk far into the foot-deep water and sand banks at low tide, when local women collect seaweed which is used to make soap, while the beach nearly vanishes at high tide. This is also where you\u2019ll find one of our favourite hostels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/New-Teddy-s-Place\/Zanzibar\/56827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">New Teddy\u2019s Place<\/a>, a beach haven that won this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hoscars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">HOSCAR<\/a> for the best in Tanzania!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120109 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tanzania-hostels.jpg\" alt=\"Tanzania beaches - new teddy's place\" width=\"875\" height=\"582\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7 <em>New Teddy&#8217;s Place<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>4. Prison Island Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The \u2018prison\u2019 here was completed in 1894, but was only ever used as a quarantine centre for possible yellow-fever victims. The beach is small, quiet, and is great for a relaxed walk or for spotting wildlife. It\u2019s a popular day-trip destination where visitors can stroke and feed Aldabra giant turtles, some of which are well over 100 years old. A visit here is usually combined with snorkelling the reef directly in front of the beach, but they probably had you at \u2018giant turtles\u2019. Prison Island is also known as Changuu Island, the name of a fish in Swahili.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Utende Beach, Mafia Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just off the southeast coast of Dar es Salaam, this is a perfect destination for a beach lover who also loves exploring below the surface, and one that\u2019s largely overlooked by the waves of tourists breaking in Zanzibar. Contrary to its name this is an inviting island, and Mafia is the old Arabic word for \u201cover there\u201d. The main attraction, Mafia Island Marine Park, encompasses around 50% of the coastal waters of the island, with Utende beach being its heart and soul. There are many other smaller, more difficult to reach beaches along the south-eastern coast of the main island, if you\u2019re the type of adventurer who likes a challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tanzania-beaches-med-j-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania beaches - utende beach, mafia island - huts and palm trees \" width=\"875\" height=\"563\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@theoutsider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@theoutsider<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>6. Sange Beach, Pangani<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This beach is Tanzania\u2019s best kept secret. Previously unknown and requiring serious effort to reach, Sange is truly off the beaten track, a large, secluded bay of white sand located between Pangani and the Saadani National Park. While you\u2019re there, check out the mangrove forest, spot dolphins off the coast and take a boat to the nearby Maziwe Island. This is a small and remote sandbar, surrounded by a large coral reef and only accessible during low tide. The nearby Ushongo beach is certainly worth checking out too if you like the sound of a tranquil spot flanked by palm trees.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Misali Island beach, Pemba<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Located on the Southwest coast of Pemba Island, this beach is ideal for those who seek quiet and isolation from most travellers. The island is uninhabited, and it\u2019s the type of beach to have you feeling like you have your own private island. The serenity combined with lively coral life make a trip here worthwhile. Take pictures that look like postcards from paradise, and enjoy a sundowner while listening to the natural sounds of the beach \u2013 bliss!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tanzania-beaches-med-j-.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania beaches - misali island beach, pemba - jetty out into turquoise ocean\" width=\"875\" height=\"474\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@theoutsider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@theoutsider<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>8. Jimbizi Beach, Kilwa Masoko<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This port town located off the usual tourist route in Southeastern Tanzania is home to the locally dubbed \u201cbeach of beaches\u201d. Jimbizi beach is home to soft sand, the occasional baobab tree and not much else, and the low tide allows you to walk from one sand bar to another. The nearby Kilwa Kisiwani island is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring ancient Swahili ruins, which is a must-visit. Kilwa means \u201cPlace of Fish\u201d, so expect to see a diverse range of marine life if you strap on your snorkel!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>9. Mbudya Island Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is an ideal getaway destination from the hustle and bustle of Tanzania\u2019s busy capital city. You wouldn\u2019t expect to find an uninhabited island just a 20-minute boat ride away from Dar es Salaam! Its beaches are flanked by white sand and a myriad of blues. Remember to bring your own toilet paper and order your food early as it might take longer than usual &#8211; this is Tanzania, so \u2018pole pole\u2019!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120112 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Tanzania-beaches-sebastien-jermer.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania beaches - mbudya island beach - little boat on water \" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@seb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@seb<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>10. Fanjove Island Beach<\/strong> \u00ad<\/h2>\n<p>About 140km south of Dar es Salaam, this island is as private as you can get. It\u2019s one of the most remote and secluded beach destinations in the world; there are just 6 eco-friendly bandas (tented rooms) with a maximum of 12 guests at any time. Don\u2019t expect air-conditioning or a TV set though &#8211; just enjoy the authentic, intimate experience. A rich fauna life, secluded beach, year-round dolphin visitors and a feeling like Robinson Crusoe are just some of the things you can expect from Fanjove Island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b>So, which of these Tanzania beaches is the one for you?
