Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach, also known as Pirate’s Beach, is another great beach for running in Mombasa. The popular white sand beach is wide, and features generally firm sand that’s great for running. The beach is best accessed from Jomo Kenyatta Beach Rd. at the southern end. From there, head north for up to 3 km, depending on tides.

Other Routes in Mombasa, Kenya
One of the best places to run in Mombasa. The palm-lined promenade follows Azania Dr. for 1.3 km, with great ocean views. For more, stair work at the Mama Ngina waterfront pavilion, or head inland for 1 km to the running track at Mbaraki Sports Club.
Nyali Beach is one of the best for running in Mombasa. It's 2.5 km, and can be combined with 2 km long Mombasa Beach. The residential neighborhood inland from Nyali Beach is also decent for running, with tree-shaded roads and not too much traffic.
A lush park located in a unique ecological restored quarry that's now a Nature Sanctuary. Several km of trails that are generally wide, with decent footing. Beautiful plant and animal life. About 12 km north of Mombasa.
