Ocean Sports Restaurant

Ocean Sports has been a Watamu institution for years, and the restaurant is a big part of why people keep coming back. Set on an open air deck overlooking Watamu Bay, this is the kind of place where you can eat fresh sashimi at lunch, watch kitesurfers from your table, and return for wood fired pizza at dinner. The kitchen is run by French chef Florian, who brings a refined approach to local ingredients without overcomplicating things.

The menu leans heavily on sustainable seafood and locally grown organic produce. The sashimi and oysters are outstanding when available, sourced directly from local fishermen. The pizza, baked in a proper wood fired oven, is consistently rated among the best in Watamu and comes at prices that feel surprisingly fair. Homemade bread and croissants appear at breakfast, and the ice cream is made in house. The attention to freshness runs through everything.

More Than a Restaurant

What makes Ocean Sports special is the full package. The resort is also one of the top watersports centers on the Kenya coast, offering kitesurfing, diving, snorkeling, and sailing. You can spend the morning on the water, have lunch on the deck, and spend the afternoon by the pool. The atmosphere is active and social without being loud. Families, couples, and solo travelers all feel at home here.
