Watamu is a small town on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, about 105 kilometres north of Mombasa and 15 kilometres south of Malindi. It is located on a small bluff between the Blue Lagoon and Watamu Bay. Tourism and fishing are its main economic activities. 
The area's shoreline includes white sand beaches and offshore coral formations arranged in various bays and beaches, including Garoda Beach, Turtle Bay, Blue Lagoon Bay, Watamu Bay, Ocean breeze, Kanani reef, and Jacaranda beach. They are part of the Watamu Marine National Park, which protects them. The Marine Park is regarded as one of the best snorkelling and diving spots on the East African coast.
