The Swahili word "nungu" means "globefish" in English, "nunge" means "leper colony".

For centuries the Nunge coast has been a place where salt was extracted from the seawater and traded to African inland areas. It is characterized by coastal mangroves and forests of coconut palms.

In recent years, a couple of seaside resort hotels have been constructed along the Nunge beach.
