If you run into a fellow tourist in Zanzibar, you may be told that
the beautiful beach at Jambiani is crowded and that everyone goes
there. The fact is, Jambiani Beach is miles of startling white sand.
It would take a lot of tourists to crowd out this piece of paradise.

What to expect? There are no swimming pools, no casinos, no discos,
bars... and mainly no electricity - except at some guesthomes. Your
idea of paradise? Then welcome to Jambiani Beach, Zanzibar.

These beaches are actually home to small fishing villages. Fishing
isn't for commercial gain; it's for the village. However, you will
find that locals in Jambiani harvest seaweed. Because of the nature
of the reef, about a mile out, the wave action litters the beach
with seaweed at low tide. Seaweed is taken, dried, and sold to
exporters - generally making its way as a nutritional product in
Japan.


Transportation for the locals consists of riding bikes along the
beach. You can rent bikes at various places along Jambiani Beach.

Another fun event would be to take a ride on a Dhow boat, the local
fishing boat. Ask the locals for a ride during sunset. You'll stay
within the reef and see the beach like few tourists have.
