Msasani Peninsula
To the north of the city centre lies the Msasani Peninsula, on the western side of which is an attractive, lively Msasani fishing village, which is thought to stand on the site of one of East Africa's oldest coastal Arabic settlements. Further west along Msasani Bay are a series of 17th-century ruins that are thought to be Dar es Salaam's oldest graveyard.

Beaches
around 25km (16 miles) to the north of Dar es Salaam are lined with resorts and make for excellent outings or short escapes from the city. Also, set a little back from the beaches amidst baobab trees are the Kunduchi ruins, which include a 16th-century mosque and Arabic graves from the 18th and 19th centuries.

To the south of the city the coastline becomes increasingly tropical. There are good beaches here too, particularly those just to the south of Kigamboni and around Gezaulole village.
