A quartz-sand peninsula facing one of the richest reef systems on the Indian Ocean, dhow safaris out to sandbanks that disappear at high tide, and a diving scene still uncrowded enough to feel like a discovery.
The best time to visit Pemba is May–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (84°F).
