Another 40 km north from Kilifi is Watamu, a small Swahili fishing village. The bays surrounding the town are part of Watamu Marine Park, considered one of the best snorkeling and diving areas in East Africa. Watamu offers plenty of relaxed and budget friendly accommodation. In case you feel like doing some on land activities, the Bio-ken Snake Farm is well worth a visit, as well as the Watamu Turtle Watch, who do great work in protecting the turtles who lay their eggs along the Watamu beaches. The Gedi Ruins are a perfect afternoon visit if you want to learn a bit of history and culture
