The Top Thing to Do Near Paje Beach
-
On Zanzibar's quieter southeastern coast, Paje has made the World's 50 Best Beaches list, and the kite surfers who've basically colonized the place would tell you it deserves it. The wind is reliable, the water is shallow and flat, and the reefs just offshore keep the snorkelers busy. It's mellower than the island's more touristy stretches, so the crowd tends to be people who actually came for the ocean, not just the Instagram shot.
