Watamu

Watamu lies between Watamu Bay and Mida Creek on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast in Kilifi County, a position that has made the sea and tidal creek central to local life. Watamu Marine National Park protects offshore coral reefs and seagrass habitats, while the creek’s mangroves create a contrasting shoreline environment. Nearby, the Gede Ruins preserve stone mosques, houses and tombs from a medieval Swahili settlement, linking the coast to East Africa’s long history of Indian Ocean trade. The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, a protected coastal forest, is also close by. Find related webcams along the surrounding Kilifi County coast to build a fuller picture of Watamu.
