Liwa Beach — Beach in Al Batinah, Oman

About Liwa Beach

A quiet beach in the fishing town of Liwa, part of the lush Al Batinah coastal plain. Calm waters suitable for swimming with a relaxed, entirely local atmosphere away from any tourist infrastructure.

Liwa is known for its date palms and mangoes. The beach is a peaceful escape with the green coastal plain as a backdrop — very different from Muscat's beaches.
