如果你正在寻找一个既拥有让人窒息的“蒂芙尼蓝”海水,又充满年轻活力与运动气息的海滩,那么位于桑给巴尔岛(Zanzibar)东南海岸的 帕杰海滩(Paje Beach) 绝对是你的首选。与岛北部商业化成熟的农格维(Nungwi)不同,帕杰以其世界级的风筝冲浪条件、独特的潮汐泻湖景观和慵懒的波西米亚氛围,成为了全球旅行者心中的“非洲风之子”。
帕杰不仅仅是一个海滩,它是一种生活方式。这里的节奏遵循着斯瓦希里语中的“Pole Pole”(慢一点,再慢一点)。
当你踏上帕杰细腻的白沙滩,首先映入眼帘的一定是天空中色彩斑斓的风筝。这里聚集了来自世界各地的数字游民、冲浪爱好者和背包客。相比于北部的高端全包式度假村,帕杰拥有更多独立咖啡馆、海滨酒吧和充满设计感的精品民宿。
帕杰拥有得天独厚的平浅泻湖(Lagoon)和稳定的信风,被誉为东非最好的风筝冲浪(Kitesurfing)教学点。
帕杰的泻湖由外海的珊瑚礁保护,内部水域在涨潮时平如镜面,且水深通常只到腰部。这种环境消除了初学者对深水的恐惧,你可以站立在水中调整装备,极大地提高了学习效率。
即便你不玩冲浪,帕杰周边的活动也足以填满你的行程。
距离帕杰仅 15 分钟车程的 Michamvi Pingwe 海滩,坐落着闻名世界的 The Rock Restaurant。这座餐厅建在一块矗立于海中的巨大珊瑚岩上。建议提前官网预订午餐或晚餐,并根据潮汐时间前往——涨潮时需乘船抵达,退潮时则可步行前往。这里是拍摄大片的绝佳机位。
乔扎尼-楚瓦卡湾国家公园(Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park)是桑给巴尔唯一的国家公园,距离帕杰约 20 分钟车程。这里栖息着世界上仅存的 桑给巴尔红疣猴(Red Colobus Monkey)。这种猴子背部呈红褐色,性格温顺,你可以近距离观察它们在红树林间跳跃。
虽然帕杰岸边主要是沙底,但附近的 Dongwe 区域拥有著名的“蓝泻湖”。你可以租一艘传统的 独桅帆船(Dhow) 出海,那里海水清澈见底,珊瑚群生机勃勃,是浮潜的绝佳地点。
无论你是为了追风而来,还是只想在棕榈树下虚度时光,帕杰海滩那片变幻莫测的蓝色海洋,定会让你流连忘返。
Aris Katserelis An amazing / astonishing beach full of green, blue and white colors. Ideally for kite surfers but also for swimm. It’s really worth to visit the beach in order to see the the waters going up and down
Muhammed Uzair Osman One word: Paradise. the water is warm food easily available. lots to do including kite surfing and jet ski. The sand is soft and the beach is not so harsh. it is a bit of a difficulty to get there but once there amazing.
Mr Bill Bowling Very beautiful beach with white sand and swimmable water. The problem is most of the locals harass you to buy items. They will not take no for an answer until you get 😠 . The restaurants along the beach does not prepare very tasty food . The beach in the water very beautiful.
Faith The Bushgirl Beautiful paradise as always. You can kite on the ocean with tutors even if you’re a learner so worry not. Speed boat cruises variety of local restaurants with delicious Swahili dishes. Not crowds at all if you’re the kinda who loves your space. Very many beach boys though 🤦🏽♀️
Razvan S On high tide you can swim, on low tide the water retreats up until the coral reef. End of January it was quite filled with algae and seaweed. Nice spot for the sunrise too. If you’re looking for sunbeds, there aren’t many at all. There are plenty of places to pit stop and refresh if you’re up for a longer walk. Be prepared for locals trying to sell you anything.
