Sightseeing
These Swahili ruins, just north of Mtwapa Creek, have as much archaeological grandeur as the more famous Gede ruins. Jumba la Mtwana means ‘Big House of Slaves’ and locals believe the town was an important slave port in the 14th or 15th century. There's a small museum on Swahili culture and an excellent restaurant by the sea, and the custodian gives excellent tours for a small gratuity. The ruins are down a 3km access road, 2km north of Mtwapa Creek bridge.

Shanzu Beach provides an excellent base for exploring the sights and scenery of the white sandy beach. Shanzu Beach is characterised by the many hotel complexes and holiday accommodation in the background. However, many locals also come to this palm-tree lined beach and enjoy the powdery, white sand.
