A scenic beach with typical palms and white sand. Once a centre of tourism is now only frequented by locals. To reach there is best by taxi as the road is quite rough

a small but very nice and lonely beach
The ruins are about 5 km from the centre of Mtwapa as you walk down to the sea. Jumba la Mtwana, which means in Swahili "The large house of the slave", is a picturesque ruined village about 600 years old. The remains of houses and mosques are in a picturesque woodland setting near the seaside. The beach and the restaurant there are "must see"
A small beach at Mangroves, at low tide you can walk to Cobba Cabana along the beach. It's a very nice walk
Ruins of a town from the 14th century near Cobba Cabana Beach. The decline of the town began when the Portuguese conquered the area and took over the maritime trade. This deprived the town of its economic basis. The site is not signposted, but you can ask for a guide at the first beach bar, who will lead you through the ruined city in the jungle. Very photogenic and still a lost place. The site has only been accessible since 2021 and is co-managed and guarded by the Jumba Ruins Administration. You can find out more about the new archaeological site at the Jumba Ruins Museum.
