Kuruwitu Beach in Vipingo is about 7 mins off the main tarmac road. Quiet sandy beaches and pancake-flat sea make Kuruwitu an ideal family holiday destination and here you will find traditional colonial-style beach houses, all of which are first-row, beach front. Some of the homes on Kuruwitu are situated in indigenous coastal forest, which is home to numerous birds, monkeys and monitor lizards.
The casual beach bungalows and double-story homes of Kuruwitu are all hidden away in lovely cool, shady gardens, which were established at least 30 years ago. Massive Baobab Trees, some of which are said to be over 800 years old, are common on the beaches and in the gardens here. Visitors to Kuruwitu are able to access the Kuruwitu Conservation Area which the fishermen have agreed to set aside for fish and corals to regenerate so they do not fish in this area.
This is a community initiative and all profits from snorkelling here go back to the local fishermen. With it’s close proximity to the golf course at Vipingo Ridge this is an ideal place to stay if you are looking for a beach-based holiday. Visitors should try a lunch at the Beach Bar found on plot 22, during their stay at Kuruwitu Beach.
