Paje Beach

It’s a trully exhilarating view to the vastness of the beach and the breathtaking Indian Ocean. The difference between low tide and high tide in Paje are absolutely astounding. At low tide, it’s like a beautiful beach desert, you can see the water receding for hundreds of meters and you can even walk out to the furthest stretches of the beach and even the occasional sand bank. And once the water slowly rushes in as high tide approaches, the colors are amplified leaving in a sense of awe at how nature can be so beautiful.

Kitesurfing is without a doubt the main draw of Paje. It’s beautiful endless beaches are nice but you can also find the same thing in Jambiani down south without the kite scene. Paje has become the Kite capital of Zanzibar due to its favorable winds, shallow water, and lack of sea urchins. Peak season for kiting is from Jun to August and Dec to Feb. Other times you will of course have windy days but not the constant wind that these months bring.
