One of the busiest of Kenya's busiest offshore reserves, Mombasa Marine National Park protects mangroves, seagrass beds, sandy beaches, and coral reefs. Diving and snorkelling are popular activities, especially north of Mombasa, from Mtwapa Creek south to the entrance of Likoni. Seahorses, stingrays, and eels are among the marine creatures inhabiting the reserve, and the MV Dania is a popular wreck dive here.
Those wishing to remain dry can view the diverse marine life from a glass-bottom boat. The popular beaches of Nyali, Bamburi, and Shanzu all provide access to the marine park.
