Morning light slices across the Indian Ocean as a private van slips out of Stone Town, heading north where beaches trade secrets with the sea. The day unfolds as a series of shorelines—Nungwi’s wide sands and boatyards, Kendwa’s unusually calm shallows, the long low arc of Kiwengwa, then quieter coves such as Mtende and Paje—each beach a different mood of water and wind.
