Around 30 minutes boat-trip from Stonetown, there is a place called sandbank: it’s an island, a sand heaven that you can see when the tide is low and disappears when the tide is high.

So we checked the tide-schedule and went there on Saturday. And you know what? People didn’t exaggerate: it is a paradise on earth! It’s literally a beach surrounded by the Indian Ocean with crystal clear water and amazing shells… We would have stayed there so much longer, but the water started to claim it back. It’s good our captain was waiting for us in the boat (he was sleeping, but we managed to wake him up).

This is one of the places at Zanzibar that we are sure we will visit again and again.
