Sea Water Lagoon

4.2(263 reviews)

About

Sea Water Lagoon, on Zanzibar, is a viewpoint at RGJJ+2RW on an unnamed road in Dongwe, on the east coast of the island. First-time visitors should expect a coastal outlook reached by a minor road rather than a signposted complex, with the Indian Ocean in front of them.

Visitors rate Sea Water Lagoon 4.2 out of 5 across 263 reviews, a volume that reflects steady traffic from the beaches along this stretch. The viewpoint sits within reach of Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe, so it can be folded into a day of moving between the island's main settlements. Bwejuu lies close by for anyone based on the south-east coast.

Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so early morning and late afternoon are the cooler windows for standing at a viewpoint. The island's low coral base and surrounding reefs shape the shoreline that visitors look out over.

Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech, which makes asking for directions straightforward. Dongwe sits on the east coast, a stretch that draws visitors staying in the surrounding villages.
