White Sands
About
In Zanzibar, White Sands operates as a restaurant at Paje Beach in Paje, Tanzania. The venue is known for its beachfront setting on Zanzibar's south-east coast, where diners eat within sight of the Indian Ocean.
First-time visitors should expect a relaxed beachside restaurant, with the Paje shoreline as the immediate backdrop. Guests rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 385 reviews, a strong record among Zanzibar's beach restaurants. Its website, http://www.whitesandvillas.com/, provides further reference for the venue.
Paje sits on the island's east coast, and the restaurant's beach location places it within the village's seafront strip. Jambiani and Bwejuu lie close along the same coast, while Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa and Matemwe are reached by road from Paje.
Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve Zanzibar, and light aircraft link the island with Pemba. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December, so the drier months suit beach visits better. Kiswahili is the main language, with English widely used in tourism, and Islam shapes the weekly rhythm through Ramadan, Eid and Friday prayers.
