Tides and Swimming
- Far North is Nungwi. Guests love the beaches here as you avoid most of low tide's retreat when booking accommodation here.
- On the South, East and West of the island, when its low tide the water can recede for up to 1.5 km so little swimming will happen during this time however you can explore and see what the sea has left behind.
