This is one of the best public beaches in the UAE, which is visited all year round. Thanks to the developed infrastructure, it is accessible to everyone, including people with limited mobility. People come here to take a break from the hustle and bustle of megacities and enjoy harmony with nature.
Description
The width of Al Khan beach with snow-white sand exceeds 100 meters, the length is 600 meters. It is equipped with changing rooms, a toilet, a shower, and a cafe. The entrance to the sea is shallow, which ensures a gradual increase in depth when entering the water. The water is so clear that when there are no waves, it seems like a clean pool.
In summer, vacationers compare warm water with fresh milk. It's usually sparsely populated on weekdays, especially in the mornings. Locals and tourists often come here on weekends.
