Crab Shack

$$
Beach Bar Casual Dining

Tucked along the tranquil shores of Mida Creek, Crab Shack Watamu is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Created by the Dabaso Creek Conservation Group, this unique dining spot blends fresh, locally sourced seafood with a mission to protect the surrounding mangrove ecosystem.

Follow a winding boardwalk through the lush mangroves to an open-air deck, where breathtaking creek views set the scene for a meal to remember. Sip on handcrafted cocktails as you savor signature dishes like garlic butter crab, grilled prawns kissed with Swahili spices, and the freshest seafood, prepared with bold, coastal flavors.
