Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are driving from the main area of Watamu, head south on the Malindi-Watamu road. Continue for about 2 kilometers until you reach the junction leading to the beach areas. Turn right and follow the signs towards Baby Shark's Beach. The beach is approximately 1.5 kilometers down this road. You will find parking available near the beach entrance, but be prepared for a small parking fee, usually around 200 KES.
Public Transportation (Matatu)
To use public transport, locate a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Malindi at any matatu station in Watamu. Inform the driver or conductor that you are going to Baby Shark's Beach. The fare is typically around 50 KES. Once you reach the nearest stop (ask the driver to drop you at the junction for Baby Shark's Beach), you will need to walk approximately 1.5 kilometers to reach the beach. Follow the signs leading to the beach; it's an easy walk.
Taxi
For a more direct option, you can hire a taxi from anywhere in Watamu. Negotiate the fare beforehand; it should cost around 500 to 1000 KES depending on your starting point. The taxi will take you directly to Baby Shark's Beach, and you won't need to worry about parking or walking distances.
Bicycle Rental
If you prefer a more active approach, consider renting a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Watamu.
