Coast Province, Former province of Kenya with coastal location
The Coast Province extended over 79,686 square kilometers along the Indian Ocean, encompassing multiple counties including Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, and Taita-Taveta.
From its establishment until 2013, the Coast Province maintained Mombasa as its capital, serving as a central point for British East African administration before Nairobi gained prominence.
The region contains settlements of Mijikenda and Swahili communities, who developed specific traditions through centuries of interaction with maritime traders from Arabia, India, and Portugal.
The province transformed into six separate counties under Kenya's 2010 constitution, each managing local governance, resource distribution, and development projects independently.
The former province includes East Africa's first marine national park in Watamu, protecting coral reefs, marine life, and coastal ecosystems along the Indian Ocean.
