Our Story

Crab Shack Dabaso Mida Restaurant

Situated at Mida Creek, not far from Dabaso village, the restaurant is a discreet, low impact wooden construction standing at the edge of the mangrove forest with panoramic views of the Creek. Please book 24 hrs in advance - we take reservations only - no walk ins -sorry. Access to the restaurant is via a 200 metre boardwalk, which gives guests a unique opportunity to absorb the beauty and magical atmosphere of the mangrove forest and Creek channels. The restaurant looks out to stunning views of Kirepwe Island and also provides a good spot for bird watching. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Those guests arriving for dinner are recommended to come early and enjoy a sundowner as the sun dips spectacularly over the Creek. The local special menu includes delicious fresh fish, prawns and crab dinner cooked by trained chef and MCCC member Dixon. Soft drinks and beers are also available. The crabs are farmed as part of another MCCC eco initiative and the fish are caught by local Creek fishermen. Eating out here really does support the local community and all profits go towards MCCC conservation activities! Guests can also pay a small fee for a guided tour of the boardwalk without having a meal. Visitors to Watamu can support MCCC's other activities: We involve the local community in practical conservation, environmental education and awareness and sustainable management of the natural resources. Towards this aim, we organise mangrove plantings and beach clean-ups and have initiated several income generating activities including beekeeping, selling mangrove tree seedlings, crab farming and other aquaculture, poultry rearing, selling handicrafts as well as doing an eco-tourism programme. We do several eco-tourism activities so you are bound to find something interesting. You can visit the Sita Community Snake Farm,take a canoe or motorboat tour through the mangroves or up to Kirepwe Island from Dabaso landing site, enjoy a picnic lunch, sundowner or Arab Ruins tour at Kirepwe Island or be entertained by traditional Giriama dancers at Dongokundu.
