1) Nungwi Beach \u2013 northernmost beach of Zanzibar<\/h2>\n![\"dhow](\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nungwi-beach-shutterstock_1292364337.jpg\")
Evening mood at Nungwi Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
A firm favorite amongst those near and far is Nungwi Beach. Here, the beach is not affected by the tides and brings an unprecedented energy to the East African shoreline. Located on the northern most tip of the island, this social hub has no shortage of resorts, hostels, restaurants or watersports centers, and is home to the best sunset views. Once the moon appears, the night comes alive with regular beach BBQs, rooftop bars, beach parties and live music. If the social scene is not for you and you prefer adventures that are more laidback, don\u2019t cross Nungwi beach off your list just yet. This beach caters to all travelers. Enjoy mellow sunset cruises on the traditional dhow boats, water sports like kayaking during sunset, deep-sea fishing, horseback tours, snorkeling or viewing the beach from above by going parasailing are some of the options you have.<\/p>\n
2) Paje Beach \u2013 Tanzania\u2019s best kitesurfing beach<\/h2>\n![\"Paje](\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/paje-zanzibar.jpg\")
Best beach in Zanzibar? Paje Beach is paradise in any case<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
If kitesurfing is your thing, then look no further than Paje Beach! The lagoon is situated on the South-East coast of the island and due to the reef acting as a barrier against the waves and the area generally being windy all year round, is why this is a kitesurfer\u2019s haven and regarded as Tanzania\u2019s best kitesurfing beach \u2013 let alone Zanzibar! Apart from that and because of its clear waters, Paje is also a great beach for underwater exploring and catching a wave or two, whilst surfing.<\/p>\n
3) Jambiani beach \u2013 favourite among locals<\/h2>\n![\"jambiani](\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jambiani.jpg\")
The original Jambiani Beach – for once there is nothing going on<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
Another gem is Jambiani, which seems to stretch for miles, offers powder-white sand and a glimpse into the authentic side of Zanzibar life. Here you won\u2019t find any discos, bars, swimming pools and besides for the rare guesthouse, there isn\u2019t even electricity. What you may think Jambiani lacks in, it certainly makes up for it with being home to friendly locals, flavorful food and the area being less touristy, making it somewhat of a hidden gem.<\/p>\n
Quaint fishing villages can be found all round, which are not for commercial gain, but to rather support the local community. Seaweed washes up on the shores, during low tide. This is harvested by the locals and dried, sold and exported to Japan where it is used for medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic purposes. The beach is the perfect hideaway for relaxing, with the turquoise waters being inviting, where you can swim amongst tropical fish, octopus and sea horses.<\/p>\n
4) Kiwengwa Beach \u2013 fascinating even at low tide<\/h2>\n![\"kiwengwa](\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kiwengwa-hotelstrand.jpg\")
The dreamlike Kiwengwa Beach – right behind it is the TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar Hotel where I work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
Kiwengwa Beach prizes visitors with the best of both worlds. Located on the North-East coast, the tides have a major influence on this beach, which is fascinating to witness. During low tide, the beach pulls back and paves the way for long walks to the reef, where you can find colorful starfish, sea urchins, nemos and sea cucumbers along the way.<\/p>\n![\"dhow](\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kiwengwa-dhow.jpg\")
A nice place to chill out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
During high tide, enjoy a dip in the warm blue waters and become absorbed in the laidback nature of the area. Kiwengwa is often referred to as “Little Italy” because of its small Italian restaurants and resorts along the shore.
\nOne of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar and a must on your trip to the island. I recommend the luxurious resort TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
