Duqm Beach — Beach in Al Wusta, Oman

About Duqm Beach

An expansive golden-sand beach near the fast-developing industrial port city of Duqm. Untouched and remote with vast open sands and calm Arabian Sea waters — good for fishing and experiencing Oman's central coastline.

Duqm is one of Oman's most ambitious development projects, but the surrounding beach remains wild and untouched. The rocky coastline south of the city has dramatic formations including the famous Whale Rock.
