    Probably one of the prettiest and quietest beaches in Kenya, best known for its white sand, few seaweed, kitesurfers and fewer “beach boys” constantly accosting tourists.

    Garoda beach is, hands down, watamu's most beautiful beach🤌🏾

  • Lewis B.Google review · 17 Oct 2025

    We had a great 2 days using this beach. They have beds at 500Ksh each and a decent food and drinks menu. There's a water sports company close by for those wanting some adrenaline, or like us, just lay on the comfy beds enjoying a beer. The water and beach were clean and ideal for swimming There is a small section where seller's have the usuall products as you enter the beach, they weren't pushy with trying to sell us items. There were also plenty of bikes and tuk tuks available.

    Wonderful sand beach, amazing nature, a small market is available, you can have your hair done (braids), get a massage or buy souvenirs there. Sunbeds are available there (not for free)

    Amazing sandy beaches. Very clean. Reasonably priced sun beds at only 500 per bed. You can also have coconuts as you soak up the sun.
