Mingle with the locals

For a bit of everything and a taste of local life, Coco Beach hits the mark. Lying on the east side of the Msasani Peninsula, its long stretches of sandy beach are usually populated with smiling locals who come to unwind and take advantage of the good array of restaurants and bars. Its lively, holiday atmosphere means that it can get crowded at times, so it’s not for those in search of secluded tranquillity.
