In terms of extraordinary natural beauty, the Watamu marine national park and reserve is among the best-kept secrets in the world.

It is located in Watamu, making It a perfect destination for honeymooners who want underwater adventure and escape from the sun. While snorkelling inside the main reef, it is virtually impossible not to encounter at least a few dozen marine species.
