Product Description

Garoda Beach is not just another beach; it’s an experience waiting to be explored. Nestled in the heart of Watamu, this beach is an absolute masterpiece, characterized by its unique sandbar that forms during low tide. The almost blinding white sand and the shimmering shades of blue of the waters make it a sight to behold. But there’s more to Garoda Beach than just its natural beauty.

A Day at the Beach:
Upon reaching the beach, you’ll notice several “shade tents” dotting the shoreline. These tents, complete with sunbeds, are set up by friendly locals who are always ready with a smile. For a small fee, you can rent one of these shaded spots, perfect for lounging and taking in the view. And if you’re feeling thirsty or peckish, these locals also offer a variety of drinks and even food orders.

For those who prefer a more upscale dining experience, the renowned KOBE RESORT is just a short walk away. Here, you can indulge in a sumptuous lunch, enjoy refreshing drinks, or opt for quick and easy sandwiches if you’re on the go.

Tides and Activities:
Garoda Beach is known for its changing tides, which occur twice daily. The landscape of the beach transforms with the high and low tides, offering a unique experience each time. For the best beach experience, aim to visit during low tide, ideally about 2 hours before and after the lowest point. Remember, the timing shifts by an hour each day.

While the beach is predominantly sandy, you’ll find a few corals scattered here and there, adding to its charm.

For adventure enthusiasts, Garoda Beach is a popular spot for kitesurfing. Whether you’re a seasoned kitesurfer or a newbie looking to learn, the JC Kiteschool is the place to be. They offer top-notch Duotone equipment for rent and provide lessons for those eager to master the sport!

Getting There:
Finding your way to Garoda Beach is simple. As you navigate through the town, keep an eye out for signs pointing towards “KOBE RESORT”. Following this sign will lead you down a picturesque sandy path for about 100 meters. As you walk, you’ll be greeted by local artisans showcasing their handcrafted African wares, a testament to the rich culture and artistry of the region.
