About Diani Beach
Diani Beach is Kenya's finest stretch of coastline, 17km of powder-white sand lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, south of Mombasa in Kilifi County. The beach sits on a coral reef system that stretches the length of the coastline. Wasini Island, a short boat trip south, offers world-class snorkelling alongside dolphins and whale sharks in season.
