Jacaranda Bay

Welcome to Jacaranda Bay

Tucked away in the Watamu ward, Jacaranda Bay beach is a serene coastal oasis where the gentle lapping of turquoise waters against the shore creates a soothing melody that echoes through the vibrant mangrove forests. As the sun sets, the beach transforms into a kaleidoscope of colours, with the majestic Jacaranda trees lining the shoreline, their purple blooms bursting forth in a vibrant display of natural beauty. This tranquil haven offers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle, and immerse oneself in the unspoiled charm of the Kenyan coast.
