Unguja | Pemba Island | The beaches in Zanzibar are a paradise of brilliant white beaches lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect place to relax, interspersed with picturesque fishing villages, where people live the simple way of life, unchanged over the years. There are more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote that the only noise breaking the silence is the ocean. Whilst most visitors to the Zanzibar archipelago visit Unguja, few take advantage of the other islands and numerous islets. Only a few kilometres from Stone Town are several islets such as Chumbe and Chapwani. Bawe and Prison Island are ideal for day trips with excellent snorkelling available. Mnemba Island is located near the north-east coast featuring luxury accommodation. Although Mnemba is a private island, it is surrounded by a rich coral reef, wonderful for scuba diving and snorkelling and is visited by several water sports centres in the area. Pemba is Zanzibar's sister island. Despite many years of isolation from the outside world, Pemba is receiving a small but growing number of foreign visitors. The infrastructure is much less advanced than on Unguja and there are far fewer tourists, but this is seen as a plus by many! Beautiful beaches, natural forests and outstanding diving are just some of the attractions on offer. Misali Island, off Pemba's east coast, is idyllic and excellent for diving. Mafia, another island in the sun is actually governed by mainland Tanzania but is not far from the Zanzibar archipelago.
