Ocean Sports Restaurant

Ocean Sports is a true Watamu classic, It is one of those places that feels woven into Watamu itself. First opened in 1952, this beachfront resort and restaurant has been a meeting point for generations: locals, travellers, fishermen, families, sports lovers, and anyone looking for good food with a great view.

It is one of the oldest, most loved beachfront spots in town, known for its breezy ocean views, ice-cold drinks, fresh fish, sushi, legendary rectangle pizzas, and easygoing local atmosphere. Spacious, relaxed, and full of character, it is the kind of place that works for lunch, sundowners, watching sports on TV with friends, fishing stories, family meals, and long Watamu afternoons by the sea.

The food is a big part of why people keep coming back. Ocean Sports is loved for its fresh fish, sushi, seafood, classic fish and chips, international favourites, and its legendary rectangle pizzas. It is one of the more varied menus in Watamu, making it a great choice when everyone at the table wants something different!

Ocean Sports is also deeply connected to Watamu’s sport-fishing culture. It has long been known as a popular base for game fishing, and local guides mention it as a place that hosts fishing competitions and community events. That fishing heritage comes through in the menu too, especially in the quality of the fresh fish.

For a casual meal, a cold drink, fresh fish, sport on the screens, or one of the most iconic views in Watamu, Ocean Sports is always a good idea.
