Bicycle

From the center of Zanzibar City, head southeast towards the main road (Nyerere Road). Turn left onto Nyerere Road and continue straight until you reach the roundabout.

When you reach Paje, look for signs directing you to Paje Beach, which is easily accessible by bike.

As you approach the beach, you'll see a wide sandy area – that's Paje Beach! The walk will take around 20-30 minutes depending on your starting point.

Public Transport (Dala Dala)

To get to Paje Beach from Stone Town, find a Dala Dala (local minibus) heading to Paje. You can catch one at the Dala Dala stand near the Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe) in Stone Town.
