Watamu is located on one of the most beautiful stretches of the coast of Kenya, north of Mombasa and about 30 km southwest of Malindi. The sinuous coast includes the succession of three beautiful bays of Watamu Bay, Blue Lagoon and Turtle Bay. When it is low tide, sand cords emerge joining each other creating a number of beaches, lapped by some pool of residual sea. Watamu coast is characterized by the deep inlet of Mida Creek, where the vegetation is composed mainly of lush mangroves.
