Shela dunes

Shela Dunes in Shela, Kenya offer a serene and captivating landscape for photography enthusiasts. This part of Lamu Island is renowned for its rolling sand dunes that contrast beautifully against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. The best time to capture these dunes is either early morning or late afternoon when the sun casts long shadows, creating a dramatic effect. Unlike the more crowded spots in Lamu, the Shela Dunes provide a sense of isolation, perfect for those seeking tranquility in their compositions. Remember to respect the local culture and environment. The area is accessible by foot from Shela village, providing an opportunity to capture both the natural beauty of the dunes and the architectural elegance of Swahili buildings along the way.
