Restaurants in Watamu

For a small place, Watamu eats very well. The seafood comes in the same day, and a long Italian presence on this coast means the pizza and pasta are better than they have any right to be.

There is everything from plastic chairs and a charcoal grill by the road to candle-lit tables on the sand, plus beach bars that are worth timing for sunset rather than dinner.
