Although the northern tip of Zanzibar is popular with backpackers, you don't need to stay up here to enjoy exploring the area. You can take a full day excursion with Sun Tours. You start north via Marahubi and Mvuleni and Portuguese ruins, finally ending up at the traditional fishing village of Nungwi, which has its own dialect of Swahili. Nungwi's traditional boat yard and local market are the real thing, and the sea here is great for diving and snorkeling, with the reefs home to a number of species of turtle. Cap it all off with a spicy Zanzibari lunch on the beach and you've got memories for life.
