#43 IN THE WORLD

ZANZIBAR'S QUIET COASTAL ESCAPE

Paje Beach, located on the southeastern coast of Zanzibar, stands out as one of the island’s top destinations, thanks to its unique blend of natural beauty, vibrant marine life, and ideal conditions for water sports. The beach’s consistent winds and shallow, flat waters make it a premier spot for kite surfing, often regarded as one of the best kite-surfing destinations in the world. In addition, its long stretch of sand and more secluded atmosphere set it apart from the busier beaches on Zanzibar. With coral reefs just off the shore, Paje is also an excellent spot for snorkeling and diving, offering encounters with rich marine life. Whether you're into watersports, snorkeling, or simply seeking a peaceful, quiet escape, Paje Beach is a great beach to explore.
