Things to see on this Zanzibar map
Even if you zoom in only a little, you'll soon see a wide turquoise-blue strip which lines Zanzibar's East Coast: this is the shallow-water between the land and the coastal barrier reef. Given that the tide retreats almost to the reef in many parts of the East Coast – this map shows how far the tide goes, and so why it's not always possible to swim on these beaches.
Note the scale in the bottom-left corner; Zanzibar is a fairly small island. It's only about 85km (53 miles) long and 20-30km (12-19 miles) wide – and so covers about 1,660km². Yet it's home to about a million people, making it quite densely populated.
Click onto any of the markers, and follow the links in the bubbles, for maps of these areas with precise locations for the various beach lodges, hotels and resorts.
