Workation in Watamu: the essentials
Tourism and fishing keep Watamu going, a small town of around 30,000 on a headland between Blue Lagoon and Watamu Bay, about 105 km north of Mombasa. Offshore lies the Watamu Marine National Park, known for reef snorkelling and sea turtles, and a local conservation group rescues turtles caught in fishing nets. Inland, the forest hides the ruins of Gedi, a medieval Swahili town. Italian-owned villas and restaurants give parts of the town a distinct flavour, and the nights stay quiet. Malindi Airport is about 20 km away with flights to Nairobi, and the long rains arrive from April to June.
