Mombasa is an island linked to the mainland by causeways and bridges. Shelley Beach, the nearest, is reached by the Likoni Ferry. There is plenty to do including tennis, squash, golf (in the Nyali area), deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, windsurfing and sailing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from and, at night, entertainment is hotel based although there are a couple of discos in the centre. Mombassa also makes a great base from which to take a safari trip to the Tsavo national park.
