Southern Kenyan Coast

Ask most Kenyans and they will tell you that a stretch of time away from the coast starts to wear thin, and it does not take long on these Indian Ocean shores to understand the habit. The coastline mixes Swahili history, coral reefs and the old dhow harbours of Mombasa and Lamu with long white beaches that stay warm year round. It is the kind of place where the appeal is immediate rather than something you have to be talked into.
