This large village at Zanzibar Island’s northernmost tip was once best known as a dhow-building centre.
Today, it’s a major tourist attraction, owing to its scenic beach and stunning sunsets. It is a place where traditional culture and modernity knock against each other with full force.
Fishing boats still launch from the beach – a scene unchanged for centuries – but they’re overlooked by a long line of hotels. Nungwi beach is definitely a highlight.
