Tourist attraction

Some of the province's important towns included Kilifi, Malindi, Watamu and Lamu in the north, and Mwandimu and Magunda in the south. Some of the coastal population was located in resort and beach settlements as Kiongwe and Kipini.

Diani Beach was one of the province's major tourist centres, with palm trees and the white sandy beaches like Mombasa.

Malindi is where Vasco da Gama picked up his pilot to navigate with the monsoon winds to India; Mambrui appears to be the site where contact occurred with the Chinese during the era of the Yongle Emperor and the expeditions of Zheng He.[2]

Watamu is a small fishing community and contains East Africa's first marine national park, the Watamu Marine National Park.

Population data

The Coast Provinces had a population of 3,325,307 in 2009.[1]

Separatism

In 1999, the Mombasa Republican Council was formed, with the goal of engineering the Coast Province's secession from Kenya.[4][5]

Dissolution

In 2010, a new constitution came into effect which divided Kenya's 8 provinces into 47 counties. The Coast Province was divided into six: Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, and Taita–Taveta counties.
