Definitely recommend as a place to visit

Expect to pay locals to take you on the beach and explain the creatures.

Unfortunately there are the usual hawkers everywhere, and some are more persistent than others. The Tuk Tuk drivers will try and get an extortionate amount of money for every trip. Ask the gate staff the going rate and stand your ground!

Verified traveller

Diani beach is good, but the water on the beach is very narrow, and the tide is making it more so. You have to go far out to get a dip. There're a lot of people trying to sell you all kinds of stuff everywhere. Everybody wants your money...
