    Summer is here, and you smell like the sea Nungwi Beach was selected as the best beach in the world in 2018 Nungwi Beach is located at the northern end of Zanzibar Island. The clear water and white sand beach are very beautiful. There are very few tourists on the beautiful white sand beach. The sea water is a blue-green color unique to the southern hemisphere. Due to the water plants and stones, it is divided into several layers of different colors. It is no less beautiful than the islands in the Caribbean, Australia, and Indonesia.
