About

The dunes are great for photos and there's a beach right there — come at 4pm when the sand isn't blazing hot. Entry is KES 200 per person, and they confiscated one visitor's Arabic hat on the way out, which is weird.

    Maybe if you bored you can spend so much your money to come from Malindi, only because of quad bike because horses you can get in Malindi too. The beach almost the same just some dunes, I don't understand why do I had to pay entery fee, then they sold me Arabic hat but they took it when I got out, I told them I don't need any guide, but they lied to me that it's a must, as always guide don't do anything, it's just a scam... because it's just an ordinary beach. But location is beautiful, quad bikes and horses made the place interesting for riding. They have place for photos, so maybe once you can try because it's not a lot of activities around Malindi.
