More than two-thirds of the countries in Africa have access to an ocean – are not landlocked. That means endless beaches, most of them unexplored. I have been to a number of beaches, which is exactly why I found this miniseries relevant. Most people are stuck on all the mainstream beaches, missing out on the magic that lies on all the others. Who loves them a good time at the beach? This one’s for you 👊

I will start with the “freshest” one. We took a walk with my brother yesterday, with a hope of discovering a new beach. My brother was my muse so here follows some of the shots I took. Btw he is on Steemit as @localsavvy and will hopefully drop a post soon.

Our access point was Jumba Ruins, which has quite a lovely beach. It is even more beautiful given the backdrop of what was essentially a village but disappeared into nothing. I wrote about it on my blog; go read it and be awed.

They made their houses from coral reef, making them withstand most forces of nature. Even after centuries of being in existence, the structures still stand strong. It is an ideal place for picnics, photoshoots, lazing on the sand, and swimming. There are those who also surf there during high tide. It is secluded hence very clean. I often take a book with me an alternate that with swims and of course a couple of bitings.

Those black things are organic waste from the ocean; we don't consider that dirt, really.

The sun does not get to you under that rock so it's a perfect place to read from

If you're my muse, you gotta jump 😈😈

This is one of the beaches I would encourage one to check out anytime they are in Mtwapa, Kilifi County. It is the perfect chill spot and also easily accessible.

That is the first beach on our beach miniseries that falls under the mega African series. Don’t get it twisted 😛

Pointers

There's a $1 entrance fee (this is cuz of the museum that seeks to preserve the remains of the village)
Be in good shoes if you plan on walking along the beach
There is barely any water before 11 a.m. (this is something extremely exciting and that needs to be talked about)
Carry some snacks. There is a restaurant there, too.
Have fun.

Hope you’ve enjoyed that. We went to around 5 different beaches yesterday only so you can only imagine what future posts hold.
