Nyali beach

Nyali is an upscale suburb of Mombasa with great beach. During the low tide sea water goes far away making the swimming impossible. But the shore features gorgeous tropical landscape, sometimes looking like Nungwi - the best beach of Zanzibar. Like all the popular beaches of Kenya, there are a lot of sticking beach boys trying to get money from tourists. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
