Diani Beach

Diani Beach is a popular beach to the south of Mombasa in Kenya. The beach is very long and rather heterogeneous. While there are palms and white sand ashore, most areas in the water are with rocky bottom and seaweed, suffering from the problem of strong low tides. But if you wish just to walk along the coast, local beach boys will disturb you all the way, asking for money. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
