East Coast — Bwejuu, Dongwe & Pingwe Beaches
The southeastern beaches of Bwejuu, Dongwe and Pingwe are a true tropical postcard paradise, except during Christmas when it is affected by seaweed cover. The area is not too developed, so you'll have ample opportunity to disconnect and relax. Bwejuu Beach is considered one of Zanzibar's finest beaches with a serene, laid-back village vibe. You can find moments of solitude on this long sandy stretch. However, Bwejuu Beach is conveniently located close to the highly trafficked tourist spots. Dongwe Beach is another beautiful white sand beach lined with gorgeous palm trees. You can spend a lazy day in one of the cosy beach huts, swim, go paddleboarding or kayaking in the mangroves. When the tide is low, try snorkelling to see shells and small marine animals. The white sand of Pingwe Beach is close to the spice farm that grows ginger, chilli, vanilla and lemongrass. Many guided tours will give you opportunity to explore the many bars and restaurants here.
