As Sunshine Marine Lodge is built on the cliff, it does not have the same access to the beach as Sunshine Hotel, but it has overcome this problem via a pier that extends into the ocean, allowing guests to swim during high tide.
Additionally, there is just a short walk from camp to Muyuni Beach, one of the best beaches on the island that also offers 24-hour swimming.
Sunshine Marine Lodge has its very own dive centre, called ‘Dive Point’. This boasts brand new dive equipment along with a specially designed swimming pool that is perfect for refresher divers or people looking for PADI training. Combine this with its location opposite Mnemba Island, and Sunshine Marine is arguably the best property on Zanzibar for keen divers.
