Revamping Of Public Beaches

Building Beyond Horizons

Beaches, made up of materials like sand, gravel, or rock, are natural habitats for various flora and fauna and play a crucial role in human life. The most important economic benefit of beaches is their tourist attraction, such as Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach in Mombasa County.
This large recreational facility is frequented by thousands of local and international tourists.

Why need for an Upgrade?

The waterfront is presently under-utilized, and hence needs to be improved in such a way that not only preserves and enhances its natural beauty but also makes it self-sustainable.

Surging Popularity

The Public Beach, with its wide frontage, is experiencing an increase in visitors due to its growing popularity.

Untangling the Waterfront

The waterfront land is currently occupied by scattered structures and makeshift shades, which lack proper planning and are highly valuable.

Unplanned Puzzles

The land seems to be insufficient for the number of people using the facility due to unplanned structures.

Parking Predicament

Visitors often park their vehicles near the beach line, resulting in limited space for them to sit and enjoy the waterfront.

Beyond the Shoreline

Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach currently functions as a beachfront with no additional recreational activities available.
