Kendwa Beach is Zanzibar's most celebrated sunset beach — a wide, white sand bay on the northwest coast where the horizon is completely open to the Indian Ocean and the setting sun descends in an unobstructed blaze of colour. Unlike many Zanzibar beaches, Kendwa has almost no tidal variation, meaning the beach and water remain beautiful at all hours of the day.

This afternoon and evening experience combines a relaxed beach afternoon at Kendwa with sunset cocktails and the famous Kendwa Rocks full moon party atmosphere — one of East Africa's most beloved beach gatherings. Whether the full moon falls on your visit or not, Kendwa Rocks delivers an extraordinary beach party sunset experience that draws travellers from across the region. Arrive in the late afternoon, swim in the warm turquoise water, watch the sunset from the beach, and enjoy live music and cocktails as the evening begins.
