Nungwi
Edit SpotAbout
Unsurfed area, locals have never seen a surfboard before. Potential for world class waves.
Additional Info:
The better looking reefs are a fair way off shore. There were waves from Nungwi around the North and East coast of Zanzibar all the way to Mnemba Island. Some inner reefs are with in paddling distance of island but access to barren beaches may be difficult. Best to charter a boat or join a snorkelling or dive boat from Nungwi or Kendra Beach tourist areas.
