About

Tucked away laid-back spot for cold drinks and delicious grilled seafood, far off the tarmac and definitely off the beaten track. The beach is wonderful with no menu — just fresh fish and octopus with fries or ugali. Quite an adventure to reach as the road is destroyed, so bring patience and a strong back.

    Nice lunch with a view. Quite an adventure to reach as the road is totally destroyed and you need a strong back to get there..the beach is wonderful. No menu. Only fish and octopus to eat with fries or vegetables. Grilled Fish was fresh and well .. octopus would benefit from a bit of f attention : at least remove the thick skin and maybe marinate a little. Simple food nice view..hard to go there. Reasonable bill

    Great Ambiance! Such a nice hidden gem💎 The host was super welcoming and friendly, and so was her team. Fresh food and the beach was dreamy! Can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely delicious food! Beautiful setting, amazing staff. A must visit if you’re in the area. Don’t let the weather put you off, it is very comfortable even in the rain (which was the case for us) and I would imagine it would be even more incredible in the sunshine! There are beautiful beach loungers and umbrellas in front of the restaurant! 😍

    Local African style restaurant, far off the tarmac, and definitely off the beaten track. Mostly grilled seafood on the menu. Don't expect fast service at a beach restaurant like this. You won't get it, and not an impressive wine list either. The seafood is fresh from the ocean, though, and done to perfection. That is why Mayungu Beach Restaurant should be on your list!
