Tropical Coast:
The Tropical Coast continues to be an ongoing discovery. You can dine on delicious seafood and garden-fresh produce or participate like a native in the traditional festivals held each spring and summer in the “white towns” scattered along the 103 kilometres of coastline. Dotting the Tropical Coast are towers and fortresses that once served in days of old as watch posts during the Arab occupation.
