Khorfokkan Beach

Spend a day by the water with your loved ones on this 3km crescent-shaped beach with a host of activities for everyone in your family. From fishing and diving to parasailing and kayaking, this is perfect for a weekend getaway to escape from Sharjah's weather. Lined with palm trees and facing glittering waters, the sand makes a great playground for adults and children with swing sets and football goalposts. Don’t forget to take a ball with you.

Explore the water with a relaxing swim or with boat and jet ski rentals, available in the huts near the centre of the corniche. Deeper into the water, there are several fishing spots to make a big catch. You can also choose from sailing, scuba diving, or snorkeling near Shark Island, which is just a short boat ride from the beach.

On one end of the Khorfakkan beach is the Oceanic Resort and Spa. The hotel offers a tailored experience at one of the most beautiful tourist places to visit in the UAE, with a full range of water sports and pamper packages. Many tourists spend the night here after a day on the beach to rest comfortably and then wake up to a beautiful sunrise over the water.
