Paje, Zanzibar

Paje is a village on the Tanzanian island of Unguja, part of Zanzibar. It is located on the southeast coast between the villages of Bwejuu and Jambiani.

The lagoon is used to learn kiteboarding, since a very consistent side-onshore wind is blowing most of the year, the lagoon is shallow during low tide and has a sandy bottom, and the reef protects the lagoon from waves.

In fact, since 2019, Paje has had an explosion from a tourist point of view that has made it the hub for the southeast of Zanzibar as it offers many hotels, restaurants and bars often newly opened. Another aspect that contributes to the growth of the town is kitesurfing, given the strong wind that often blows on the beach all year round with the consequent opening of many schools. Another feature of the place is the tide, with big changes even on the same day on the beach which is always better to check in advance.
