Zanzibar Fuji Beach and Sailing

Fuji Beach - Zanzibar Island

Just a few miles North of Stone Town is the village of Bububu, which marked the end of the old railway line. There is a long white sandy beach that runs all the way along the coast. It is a beautiful beach and good for swimming, At low tide the coral bed is exposed which makes for some interesting exploration of the sea bed!.

Zanzibar The Stone Town

Stone Town - Zanzibar Island

Stone Town, more than anything else is what makes Zanzibar so different from a thousand other tropical isles. Behind its elegant waterfront, it is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners fought with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings.

Prison island, perhaps the most well known, is home to giant tortoises and was once the quarantine centre for Zanzibar. It has a lovely beach. There is a fee of US$4.00 per person to land on the island.

Mystic and Beautiful Zanzibar

Zanzibar Island - Unguja - The island is unique in that it combines unique natural beauty, forests, spectacular beaches with a rich cultural heritage.

Nungwi is the most Northerly village on the island and has given its name to the surrounding area. Tourist development came late to Nungwi but it has come with something of a vengeance. The North West beach of Nungwi is the most popular area for the younger travellers with loud music and rave parties. It can be fun and those seeking accommodation in the many cheap beach guesthouses are best advised to check the place out on arrival and find a room on the spot. The beach is particularly beautiful, as it is one of the few areas without a coral reef which means that one can swim at all tides.

The East Coast of Zanzibar Island
The reef runs down the whole East Coast of Zanzibar, protecting the long white sand beach which runs from North to South for miles. It is a unique location and one of the world's most beautiful beaches.
