About

The 13th-14th century Kongo Mosque built with Swahili craftsmanship overlooks white sand beach where the Kongo River meets the Indian Ocean. Ancient baobab trees surround the site, original walls preserved alongside new additions, and it's one of the few beaches where vendors don't harass you. KES 100 parking, absolutely worth the drive from Mombasa.
