About

Jeremy runs this small beach bar on the sand where the octopus and lobster are freshly prepared and generous. The road getting here is rough but the relaxed vibe and spacious beach make it worth the drive.

    This a true hidden gem! The road is bad coming here but totally worth it. Unfortunately we already had lunch before coming so we didnt eat here but the service and the entire place is beautiful without the hassle and people around. Its not far to walk to “the Sardegna” from here.

    I discovered Peponi Beach during my travels in Kenya a few years ago, and it remains one of those places that really stays with you. This is a small, relaxed beach bar right on the sand, with an amazing ocean view and a genuinely laid-back atmosphere. The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly, always smiling and happy to chat. You can really feel the passion behind the place, and that makes a huge difference. It’s the kind of spot where you go for a drink and end up staying for hours, watching the ocean and enjoying the moment. Great drinks, simple but tasty food, fair prices, the perfect place if you’re looking for something authentic. Highly recommended if you want to experience the real spirit of the Kenyan coast!

    We had a great time at Jeremy’s place. He took care of us really well, nothing was a problem and our lunch - octopus and lobster was also very good. We could just relax and enjoy the beach. Highly recomended, thank you.

    One of the most beautiful places along Kenya's coast. The staff is amazing, welcoming you as soon as you arrive, arranging sunbeds in the shadow. We highly recommend the delicious food, made on the spot and very generous. Cold drinks are available as well as a clean bathroom. We loved the atmosphere, serene and relaxed. We enjoyed watching the sunset, playing football on the beach, the boats and kitesurfers. The beach is cleaned by the staff everyday. We highly recommend this place and visited multiple times during our holiday. Each time we had a good experience.

    A super chilled place to hang out on the large beach loungers and enjoy the spacious beach while your meal is prepared. The food is excellent home-cooked Swahili style cuisine and is freshly prepared and super tasty.
