Discover the Serenity of Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from any location in North Eastern Province, first ensure you have a reliable GPS or map application. Head towards the town of Garissa as your primary point of reference. From Garissa, take the A2 road heading south towards Mombasa. Continue on this road for approximately 200 kilometers until you reach the coastal area near Malindi. Look for signs leading to Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach. Upon entering Malindi, follow the local road signs that direct you to the beach. There may be parking fees, which can vary, so be prepared with some local currency.

• Public Transportation - Matatu

  To reach Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach via public transportation, you can board a matatu (shared minibus) from major towns in North Eastern Province, such as Garissa or Wajir. Ensure you take a matatu heading towards Malindi, which are commonly available at the matatu stage. The fare will typically range from 300 to 500 Kenyan Shillings, depending on your starting point. The journey may take several hours, so be prepared for a long ride. Once you arrive in Malindi, ask the matatu conductor or locals for directions to Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach, as it is a well-known location. You may need to take a short taxi ride from the matatu drop-off point to the beach, which could cost around 100 to 200 Kenyan Shillings.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from your current location in North Eastern Province to Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach. This option is more expensive, with fares potentially ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 Kenyan Shillings depending on the distance traveled and negotiation with the driver. Ensure that you agree on the fare before starting your journey. The taxi will take you directly to the beach, making it a convenient but pricier option.
