Coast Province

Coast Province Map

Kenya's Coast Province is one hub of its tourist trade (the other being the safari regions of the country's interior). Though the province occupies more than just the coastline, it's the 480km of idyllic seashore that draw tourists like iron filings to a tropical magnet.

The coast has white beaches with palm trees, warm seas of aquamarine or turquoise, coral reefs, and golden sand dunes. The average temperature here is 28°C, an indolent heat that's partially relieved by the monsoon winds - the southeast Kaskazi from April to October and the northeast Kazi from November to March.

The coast is also an historical hotspot, as Kenya's early colonial history - featuring Portuguese invasion, naval battles with the Omani Arabs and a history of the slave trade - played out along its coastline. With Lamu and Mombasa Old Town, there's more than enough in the Coast Province to pique the interest of the historically inclined.
