Tiwi is reputed as one of the least visited beach towns in Kenya’s south coast region. Situated within the Matuga constituency of the Kwale County, it is a great destination for visitors looking for off-the-beaten-path hideaways. The high tide at Tiwi is a sight to behold, especially the rolling applause of the waves. Visitors with a great affinity for surfing, windsurfing, kiting, diving and snorkelling will enjoy their time at this tropical beach town.

If you get tired during your beach walk, you can hop on a camel for a ride while you admire the beauty of Tiwi from the back of the camel – all with the help of camel guides around.

Unlike other beach destinations, most of the restaurants and bars in Tiwi are within the cottages and guesthouses. Nevertheless, there is so much to eat and drink, thanks to the sumptuous cuisine variety served by chefs. However, you can take your own food, snacks, and drinks to the beachfront, as well your music player.

The Tiwi locals are Christians and Muslims by adoption. Music, dance, arts, and crafts are a significant aspect of the local culture.

In terms of shopping, there is not much you can spend your cash on apart from services provided by hotels on the coast and they are surprisingly affordable.
