Instead of staying at the hotel, we opted for the public beach and I must say, it was impeccably clean. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of cleanliness maintained at the beach.

I arrived at the beach in the early hours of the morning, around 11am, and was greeted by a serene and tranquil atmosphere, as the tides were at an all-time low. The locals and business owners in the area were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making my visit all the more enjoyable. I decided to embark on a snorkeling adventure on one of the glass boats, which took me to the nearby island. The cost was Ksh.1000 per person for a 2½ hour excursion, and it was definitely worth every penny. However, upon my arrival, I was initially taken aback by the accumulation of dead sea plants and leaves that had washed up on the shore.
