One of Diani's oldest and best-known beach bars, Forty Thieves has been a fixture on the beach for many years and remains popular with visitors and residents alike. The food covers the usual beach-bar range — grilled fish, burgers, salads, and wood-fired pizza — executed reliably. The seafood platters are worth ordering when fresh catches are in.
The location, right on the beach with tables under thatch shade, is the main draw. It becomes livelier in the evenings, when it transitions into more of a bar and occasional live music venue. A reliable option for lunch on any day of a Diani stay.
