Matemwe

Matemwe is a small village beside a long white sand and palm fringed beach. There is a range of accommodation from luxury lodges to cheaper beach huts. The beach is the center of activity and human interaction, cyclists and scooters whizzing past, kids playing football, tourists strolling, touts offering tours, octopus hunters stalking the shallow waters at low tide, fishermen drifting past in dhows with billowing white sails and "Masai" warriors selling jewelry and handicrafts.

The Makuti pop-up beach restaurant offers seafood dishes and the perfect observation post for checking out the scene.
