Sheltered by a long barrier reef, the east coast of Zanzibar consists of gently sloping white sandy beaches, melting away into the warm Indian Ocean. Inland, rare red colobus monkeys can be seen on the trail to the coral caves of the Kiwengwa-Pongwe Forest, 20 km from Stone Town. Paje Beach is the perfect place to get away from the busier north and east coast of the island.
