Lamu County is home to Lamu Town, the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili settlement in East Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The county anchors Kenya's Swahili Coast tourism circuit and is the southern terminus of the LAPSSET corridor, with construction of Lamu Port underway.
Lamu Port — which will become Kenya's second deep-water port — is the most significant infrastructure investment in the county. Tourism, dhow-building craftsmanship, and fishing remain the historic foundations of the economy, supplemented by growing real estate interest from high-net-worth buyers.
Lamu Port construction and associated logistics infrastructure represent a major procurement opportunity — verified civil and marine contractors serving Lamu are listed on ProvenGrid.
