Nungwi Village Beach offers a vibrant, unfiltered glimpse into the heart of Zanzibari coastal life. Unlike the polished resort beaches, this stretch of sand is a working landscape, where the rhythm of the ocean dictates the daily routines of the local community.
“This beach offers an authentic, living portrait of Zanzibari fishing culture, directly integrated with the coastal landscape.”

You'll witness the timeless spectacle of traditional wooden dhows being built and repaired, their hulls rising majestically from the sand. Fishermen unload their catches, and the air fills with the lively chatter of villagers, creating an immersive cultural experience.
