Khorfakkan Beach is located on the eastern coast of the UAE and is one of the country's most beautiful beaches. It has the majestic Hajar Mountains in the background and the Gulf of Oman stretching infinitely in front of it, providing travellers with a combination of relaxation, adventure, and culture. This is a beach where you can enjoy water sports, family picnics, and scenic walks.
Golden sand, turquoise waters, and palm-lined shores make Khorfakkan Beach truly unforgettable. Visitors can try snorkelling, paddle boarding, or jet skiing, while families enjoy shaded walkways, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The beachside amphitheatre is another highlight, often hosting cultural performances with the sea as its stage.
There are also well-maintained restrooms, changing facilities, and showers available for public use. Lifeguards are on duty during the day, ensuring a safe environment for swimmers and families alike.
The most appropriate time to visit is between the months of October and April, when the weather is cooler and perfect for outdoor activities. Evenings are especially enchanting as the beach glows under soft lights and a refreshing sea breeze.
If you love photography, sunrise is a magical moment - the sun rising over the Gulf of Oman with the mountains behind you creates an unforgettable scene.
The area is packed with attractions. The Khorfakkan Waterfall near the amphitheatre is a favourite photo spot. For history fans, Al Rabi Tower offers sweeping city and sea views. Nature lovers can head to Shees Park, where terraced landscapes and mountain trails create a scenic escape.
