Ras Al Hadd Beach

The beach is about 60 kilometers from Sur City, the capital of the A’Sharqiyah Region (Eastern Region). This beach has been home to human activity since the third millennium BC and serves as a safe haven for ships from the storms. Fighter planes took shelter in it in during Second World War and the marks of the runways still exist today.

This beach has been proclaimed a turtle reserve. Turtles come here, especially to Ras Al Jinz beach in Wilayat Ras Al Hadd, to lay an estimated number that ranges from 6.000  to 13.000 eggs. The beach is distinguished by its spectacular bays and rock formations which are havens for large numbers of birds.
