Nestled in Tanzania, near the town of Finya, Pemba Island's beaches stretch with pristine white sands along its coastline, inviting visitors into its tranquil embrace. The island is a hidden gem, offering a wide array of activities including surfing, with waves that appeal to both novice and experienced surfers, and camping under the starry sky for those who seek a closer encounter with nature. Pemba Island has many amenities including restroom facilities ensuring comfort, and it is a dog-friendly destination where your furry friends are welcomed to enjoy the sandy shores alongside you. However, note the absence of lifeguard services, which calls for cautious swimming.

Dining on Pemba Island offers a delightful culinary journey, with restaurants serving a fusion of Swahili and international cuisines. The Seaside Restaurant, for instance, offers freshly caught seafood prepared with local spices and flavors, providing an authentic taste of the island's culinary heritage. Another notable spot is The Spice Island Hotel & Resort's restaurant, which not only serves exquisite dishes but also offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, enhancing the dining experience.

Accommodation options on Pemba Island range from luxurious resorts to charming boutique hotels, catering to various preferences and budgets. The Pemba Lodge, situated amidst a natural forest and offering direct beach access, is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. For those seeking a blend of luxury and local culture, The Manta Resort provides exclusive underwater rooms that offer a unique overnight experience, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the ocean. Meanwhile, Fundu Lagoon offers a secluded sanctuary for visitors, with stylish bungalows that merge seamlessly with the natural environment, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Parking on Pemba Island tends to vary depending on the specific beach location one is visiting. While some beaches offer free parking lots, accommodating a fair number of vehicles, others might not have designated parking areas, requiring visitors to find suitable spots along the roadside. Due to the island's relaxed nature, parking is rarely a significant issue, but it's advisable to arrive early during peak seasons to secure the best spots.

An intriguing facet of Pemba Island is its rich history and cultural significance. Often overshadowed by the more popular Zanzibar, Pemba Island offers a quieter, more intimate insight into Swahili culture and the traditional way of life that has been maintained for centuries. The island is also known as "The Green Island" in reference to its lush, verdant landscapes that contrast beautifully with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Attractions on Pemba Island extend beyond its gorgeous beaches. Visitors can explore the Ngezi Forest Reserve, a virgin tropical forest that is home to endemic species and a wide variety of bird life, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers. For the more adventurous, the diving sites around Pemba Island are world-class, offering spectacular underwater vistas populated by vibrant coral reefs and marine life. The island's remote location ensures that these natural attractions remain pristine and relatively untouched by mass tourism.
