Mida creek is a large creek lined with mangrove forest and
renowned for its waders, kingfishers and crab plovers. Birdwatching, fishing,
mangrove walks, and leisure boat trips can be arranged by several groups in Watamu.
Waterskiing and other watersports are also available.

Mida Creek is large, from the spectacular entrance from the sea,
with its dramatic water currents and coral outcrops, up to the far ends that are
a tangled ribbon of channels and sandbanks, and the ideal places for wetland birds
to feed at low tide. Approximately 6kms long, the creek has many narrower brackish
and fresher tributaries where the waters are still and clear, and the mangrove
forest is enveloping. |
