Jambiani features a stunning 7 km beach with soft white sand and clear turquoise waters, ideal for swimming without the worry of rocks or sea urchins.
A few kilometres offshore, a barrier reef creates a picturesque lagoon perfect for snorkelling, diving, and wading.
The area is also favoured for wind and kitesurfing, thanks to steady side-shore winds.
Tidal movements, influenced by lunar gravitational forces, play a crucial role in local life and beach activities.
These tides alternate approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes, offering opportunities to swim at high tide and explore the exposed coral landscape teeming with marine life at low tide.
