Memories of the Kenya Coast

I dream about the Kenya coast. It holds a special place in my heart as I spent all my childhood holidays there with my family and close friends.  The beaches stretch for miles and are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  The warmth of the Indian Ocean is so inviting to swim in and the tidal changes reveal the reefs at low tide making it a spectacular place to explore and learn about what lives beneath.

I think the most special thing about the Kenya coast is that it is so diverse and there are so many places to stay.  From the North Coast to the South Coast and from exclusive 5 star luxury resorts to basic holiday shacks right on the beach.  There is something there for everyone and budgets to suit all needs.

I’m lucky enough as an adult to work and live around tropical islands in Australia which are also incredible and I feel very privileged to live the life I do but I can honestly say nothing quite compares to the beauty of the Kenya Coast. It is in my eyes the perfect beach holiday destination – but perhaps I’m biased!
