Rains are mostly in spring and autumn, so <strong>the best period to visit and dive is January-March or June-October<\/strong>. Underwater you will admire the beautiful 150 species of <strong>coral<\/strong>, pride of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/2020\/09\/02\/welcome-to-kenya\/\">Kenyan coast<\/a>, and 11 different water plants and algae.

Many birds fly over the Marine Park and most of them also go to the coast, landing along the shores of Mida Creek.

Local tour operators organize many <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/activity_types\/marine-safari\/\"><strong>sea safaris<\/strong><\/a> like that but also boat tours: the boats have glass bottom so you can admire the fish without touching it nor entering the sea.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>You are allowed to go <strong>snorkeling<\/strong> in the Marine Park, and you can also <strong>practice windsurf and water ski<\/strong>. Fishing, picking corals or touching animals is forbidden. Strict controls against the action of man on the reserve may result into heavy fines or even jail. So please be respectful! Safaris can be organized also to visit the forests and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/2020\/09\/23\/arabuko-sokoke-national-park\/\"><strong>the Mida Creek<\/strong><\/a> environment, on the coast.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Watamu is not far from Malindi. So you could also go and<strong> visit the city<\/strong>, find some time for your shopping and tasting some local food at the restaurant. Or you can enjoy other typical tourist activities which do not concern nature. You can also reach Mombasa, which is 120 km\u00a0 south of the beach.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>More information about the Park<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Tourists shall pay a entrance ticket<\/strong>, in order to use the services of the Watamu Marine National Park.
