About this spot
Located on the northeastern coast of Zanzibar, Pongwe offers rideable beaches that are far less crowded than the main hub of Paje.
The spot is tide-dependent, requiring high tide for kiting over the reef-protected turquoise waters. It is an ideal spot for those seeking peace and quiet.
