Raskazone Swimming Club, (Go past the Toyota garage on the corner and head north along the shore. About 1.5km from the centre of town). One of Tanga's two outdoor swimming clubs. There is a theoretical entry fee of 500/= which is charged when there are enough people about to warrant an attendant (seldom!). A seemingly abandoned place which has steps leading to a clean(ish) beach with the water lapping right against the courtyard at high tide. There's a reasonably priced restaurant serving excellent fish in the evenings and a cold beer any time. A great place to have a relaxing evening swim and maybe a meal; it comes alive on Sunday afternoons with half the town's youth arriving to jump in, splash about and generally show off. Not to be missed. Cold showers available most of the time.500 /=. edit
Ocean Breeze hotel is in Tanga. A double is TSh12,000/=.to 16000
MK Inn, 9th street, Tanga (Head two blocks from the bus station towards a big grey building.). A cheap and cheerful place with simple breakfast included. Try and get a corner room on the upper floors for refreshing breezes and stunning views. Prepare yourself for the early morning call to prayer!12,000 /=. edit
