Al Mughsail Beach
Al Mughsayl Beach (also spelt 'Mughsail') can be found in southern Oman in the city of Salalah. Unlike Al Qurum beach, it is relatively untouched with fewer crowds and less commercial activity. In the summers, it is a wonderful place for sunbathing. In the monsoons, the waves are known to explode through blowholes in the partially-collapsed caves just off the beach.
From the cliffs, you can get a pretty view looking towards the Yemen border. Across the beach's 7 kilometres coastline, you can find flora such as banana trees and coconut grooves that give it a laid-back vibe. Close to this beach is a twisting road repeating into itself called 'Furious Road' for thrill seekers.
Al Qurum Beach
Al Qurum beach is located in northern Oman, in the city of Muscat. It is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Oman, and that is why lots of famous hotels and cafes are built nearby. Being in the capital city, Al Qurum beach is one of the busiest beaches in Oman, which makes it close to shopping centers, restaurants and other attractions. With its large beaches, visitors can enjoy long beach walks and playing in the sparkling sand.
Yiti Beach
Located around 28 km from the city centre Muscat, Yiti Beach is one of the secluded and lesser-known beaches in Oman. It is well-known as a camping site outside the city of Muscat with small cliffs, coves, rocky edges, and a fairly isolated environment that is ideal for parties or couples who would enjoy their privacy. The beach has gorgeous soft sand and clear waters with fishing, swimming, camping, and simple day-trip picnic opportunities available.
Admittedly off the beaten track, Yiti Beach is a wonderful, lesser-known beach to explore in Oman. There is also a fishing village nearby where one can interact with the locals and rent a boat. At sunset, Yiti Beach is ideal for long walks to watch the sun go down at the horizon in an array of red and orange colours. Sunrises at the beach are equally beautiful. Yiti Beach does not have many facilities, but it remains attractive for its rustic charm.
Khalouf Beach
Not only is Khalouf Beach a popular fishing spot for locals, but it has recently become a tourist spot. At five hours away from Muscat with very few resorts nearby, it sees fewer crowds and almost feels like a private beach. There are looming sand dunes before you reach the crystal-clear waters, reminding you of Oman's wide array of terrain. It is a great spot to go snorkeling as well as camping, so bring a tent along! You might just catch a sighting of eagles and even flamingos at this beach.
Pebble Beach
If long stretches of sandy isolated beaches with pebbles of different shapes, colors and sizes lying all across the shore is your fascination of an ideal beach vacation, then Pebble beach in Sharqiyah region of Oman is the perfect place for you to visit. Oman’s very own Pebble beach near the city of Sur has crystal clear waters, long lonely unexplored traces surrounded by mountains; a typical place that shouts Oman from every inch of it. This public beach of Oman beach offers a unique solitude, something very different from the other beaches in the country.
