The stretch of the east coast that lies between the villages of Dongwe and Bwejuu is classic Zanzibar ... a continuous beach fronted by a broad coral lagoon and backed by palm trees.
Around the thatched villages cluster smaller guesthouses such as
Palm Beach, hampered by seaweed farming in the lagoon and the working nature of the beach, but interesting for the cultural interaction that this proximity brings.
Between the villages lie some medium and larger sized lodges ...
The best mid-price mid-size place is
Kichanga Lodge, whilst the best of the larger resorts is undoubtedly
Breezes Beach Club, along with its luxury annexe
Palms.
