Good boat based fishing in season but it is a nature reserve so no fishing from the shore. Nightlife in Watamu is limited to a few local bars or the hotels. Better to take a taxi to Malindi.

Awesome pics by Paul Nicklen... what I would give for a Popper and conditions like that...!!!!
Just to set aside any confusion though, these pics were not taken in Kenya, but rather around Isla Mujeres in Mexico, which is a little island off Cancun/Conzumel on the Caribbean coast of Mexico, and is home to some of the largest Sailfish popluations in the world outside of Gautemala..... Insane pics none the less.

Are you going with slapper shuttleworth.
I have been to club 15 over dec for 2 weeks. 1st day 6 sails, rest of the 2 weeks 1 sail. wrong wind etc, but thats fishing.
as for night life in Watamu. well Ocean sports has been known to throw out the odd loose one from time to time. If you have the right bait, you may bgat a bite, but I bet slapper beats you all to it.
Asd for your comment re local tallent, avoid local, go tourist. A few pommie birds that have holiday houses there, have told matt about them.
