Sinda actually consists of u201cInneru201d Sinda and u201couteru201d Sinda islands that are part of a larger coral reef formation. The formation makes Sinda one of the best islands off Dar es Salaam for snorkeling, surrounded by patch reefs that harbour a variety of species such as tiny clownfish and huge moray eels. Sinda Island is also famed as a quiet spot favoured by honeymooners and people just enjoying a day trip with a picnic. It is about 15km offshore but getting there is simple, with boats departing daily from Kipepeo beach and a chance to see dolphins on the way.
The ocean water here is very clean there are no rocks or sea urchins around making it an ideal and safe beach for swimming even at low tide! Watch the fishermen sail by in their dhows or take a walk on the beach.
