Kilifi
A coastal town on Kenya's southern shore between Mombasa and Malindi, Kilifi sits alongside a wide creek that opens into the Indian Ocean — popular with leisure sailors and lined with beaches, including the well-regarded Bofa Beach. The broad creek mouth draws pleasure craft, and the town serves as the seat of Kilifi County. UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
