North of Mombasa

 The north coast has been well developed from Mombasa almost to Kilifi by resort complexes. Most cater to package tourists on extended holiday from Europe. Like the beaches south of Mombasa, the northern beaches are often plagued with floating seaweed which makes swimming a challenge at best. Kilifi, once a small, undeveloped town, has evolved into a watersports center and upscale retirement community for white Kenyans. The 15 km-long Kilifi Creek is a beautiful natural harbor that today houses ocean-going yachts and local fishing boats. Kilifi offers a great contrast to Mombasa and Malindi, and contains some well-preserved ruins at Mnarani. Watumu, just north of Kilifi, is another beach resort development that features its own marine national park. The coral reef here remains in much better health than the more heavily visited reefs at Malindi.
