Enjoy the colour and activity of the Fish Market as fishermen land their catch for the day from dhows and canoes. With a view that stretches from the deep-water harbour, across Mtwara Bay and far out into the Indian Ocean, this area would warrant a visit at any time. The presence of the Fish Market on the beach however brings the place to life with lots of activity and colour as fishermen land their catch and people go about the business of buying and selling.

The fish market itself consists of a series of small wooden stalls, in front of which the fishermen pull up in their dhows or canoes, and then empty their haul onto the sand to be inspected.

After buying fish, the driver will head to the other market in Mtwara where spices, fruit and vegetables are on sale.
