Lamu, Kenya
By far, the most laid back and relaxing coastal town in Kenya is Lamu.
With only occasional braying donkeys and calls to prayer, nothing can disturb the peacefulness travelers will experience in Lamu. What is best, the beaches there are breathtaking, and the town is located very close to a stunning marine national park ideal for snorkeling activities.
Shela Beach is one of the most perfect places to chill out and adopt a slow coastal living style.
