Public beaches in Mombasa are now open for public access and recreational use.

This is after Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sherrif Nassir on Tuesday, May 27, lifted the suspension on public beaches in the coastal city.

In a press release, the Governor disclosed that the new development came after consultations with the Kenya Meteorological Department which gave the go-ahead after a significant improvement in weather conditions.  On Friday, May 23, Nassir had ordered the closure of the beaches for two days, effective immediately.  The orders were informed by an advisory by the Kenya Meteorological Department released on Thursday, where they warned of strong southerly winds and large waves along the Kenyan Coast.  More to Follow...
