Bagamoyo Beach Hotels/Bagamoyo Beach Resorts #2: Oceanic Bay Hotel & Resort

Oceanic Bay Hotel & Resort is the most traditional hotel on this list, complete with a gym and conference center.

What it lacks in charm in comparison to the other establishments on this list, it makes up for in terms of anonymity due simply to the size of the establishment.

Oceanic Bay Hotel & Resort also lies on a particularly calm and quiet stretch of Bagamoyo’s beach.

Beach Nzuri Dar es Salaam

Kwa kuwa Dar es Salaam inajulikana kwa uzuri wake wa pwani, kuna fukwe kadhaa zinazofaa kielezo cha “nzuri.”

Hizi hapa ni baadhi:

1. Coco Beach

Iko kwenye Peninsula ya Msasani, Coco Beach ni moja ya fukwe maarufu zaidi za umma Dar es Salaam. Ni mahali penye shughuli nyingi, hasa mwishoni mwa wiki, ambapo wenyeji na watalii wanakuja kufurahia jua, bahari, na mchanga.

Utakuta wauzaji wakitoa vitafunwa vya kienyeji, vinywaji baridi, na vyakula vya barabarani, na hivyo kuunda mazingira yenye furaha na utulivu. Ingawa pwani yenyewe si bora sana kwa kuogelea, ni nzuri kwa kupumzika na kujumuika.

2. Kigamboni Beach

Kigamboni, inayoweza kufikiwa kupitia Daraja la Kigamboni au kwa feri, inajulikana kwa mchanga wake safi na mazingira tulivu. Fukwe za hapa ni chache zaidi watu kuliko katikati ya mji, na hivyo kutoa nafasi nzuri ya kujipumzisha mbali na pilikapilika za Dar es Salaam. Kigamboni Beach ni bora kwa kuogelea na kufanya picnic, huku kukiwa na hoteli ndogo za pwani na nyumba za wageni karibu ambazo zinatoa huduma kama chakula na vinywaji.

3. Kisiwa cha Mbudya

Kisiwa cha Mbudya, kilichopo mbali na pwani ya Dar es Salaam, ni mahali pazuri kwa wapenzi wa fukwe wanaotafuta mahali pa kimya. Unaweza kufika kisiwani kwa boti, na mara ukifika, utakutana na maji ya buluu yanayong’aa, fukwe za mchanga mweupe, na mazingira ya amani.

Kisiwa hiki ni bora kwa kuogelea, kupiga mbizi, na kufurahia chakula cha samaki wa baharini kwenye vibanda vya kienyeji. Ni chaguo bora kwa wale wanaotafuta pwani “nzuri” kwa utulivu na uzuri wa kiasili.

4. Kisiwa cha Bongoyo

Kisiwa cha Bongoyo ni kisiwa kingine jirani kinachotoa uzoefu bora wa pwani. Kama Mbudya, kinaweza kufikiwa kwa boti, na ni mahali pazuri kwa kupiga mbizi, kuogelea, na kuota jua.

Kisiwa hiki kinatoa fukwe safi, tulivu, na si chenye watu wengi, na hivyo kufaa kwa safari ya kupumzika kwa siku moja. Wageni wanaweza pia kufurahia vyakula vya samaki wa baharini huku wakifurahia mandhari ya bahari.

5. South Beach (Kipepeo Beach)

Iliyoko kusini mwa jiji, South Beach (pia inajulikana kama Kipepeo Beach) ni mahali pendwa kwa wenyeji na watalii.

Pwani hii inajulikana kwa urefu wake wa mchanga mweupe na maji tulivu, bora kwa kuogelea.

Kuna hoteli kadhaa za pwani kando ya pwani, zenye mikahawa, baa za pwani, na huduma kwa wageni wa siku moja.

Pwani hii huwa na utulivu zaidi kuliko Coco Beach, na hivyo kuwa mahali pazuri pa kupumzika.

6. Jangwani Beach

Jangwani Beach iko upande wa kaskazini mwa Dar es Salaam na inajulikana kwa mazingira yake tulivu na mandhari nzuri ya bahari.

Ni mahali pazuri kwa hoteli za pwani na inatoa mazingira tulivu na ya kupendeza kwa wale wanaotafuta kupumzika kando ya bahari.
