messages.overview
Mida Creek is a beautiful tidal inlet surrounded by extensive mangroves, located just minutes from Watamu Marine National Park. This peaceful nature spot is perfect for birdwatching, canoe rides, and learning about the vital mangrove ecosystem. The famous community-run boardwalk offers a scenic elevated walk through the mangroves ending at a viewing platform with panoramic views — especially magical at sunset.
