Description:
Tanga is a small lazy township, 60 km south of the Kenyan border. The town itself is provincial compared to Dar es Salaam, but one can find most essentials in the two supermarkets.
Nestling on the southern side of the bay is the Tanga Yacht Club, a relaxed and friendly, family oriented Club which provides a safe anchorage for yachts all year round. This is a secure place for leaving your yacht and going on safari or flying out of the country.
Position: 05°03’S, 039°07’E (off the town).

Reported by Jack Hunt of by Barbara Ann:
Tanga yacht club has a weekly club fee of 40,000 TSH, which is a little less than 20$.
The bar does not accept cash but coupons valued at 10,000 TSH can be purchased to buy drinks, which are reasonably priced, a beer costing 1,500 TSH, a little less than 1$.
There is a bus stop about 500m from the yacht club where shuttle buses into town (2-3km) can be caught for 200 TSH. The better option when returning from town is to take a bejaji (tuk-tuk) costing 2,000 TSH.
