In low season there are way too many touts about for the amount of travellers and it gets really tiring having to constantly deal with them. In high season I am sure it isn't such a problem

Watamu is a town with numerous beautiful, ambient and cost friendly beach hotels and resorts not to mention the awesome Watamu Marine National park. The locals are friendly and hospitable. I'd recommend Watamu any day.
