Excellent facilities such as gazebos and umbrellas provide welcome shade; children’s playgrounds keep the little ones busy, while a volleyball court, a soccer pitch, restrooms and barbecue facilities make the journey from Doha worthwhile. Play ball, fly a kite, or simply stroll along the wide beach which starts off golden in colour and gets lighter and softer as you approach the sea.
The shallow water makes the beach area safe for children. They will enjoy seeing a crab or three in the sand, feeling tiny fish swimming around their toes and finding plenty of seashells to chuck in their bucket.
