Sur City Beach — Beach in Al Sharqiyah, Oman

About Sur City Beach

Urban beach along the Sur corniche, a historic port city famous for traditional dhow building. Perfect for coastal walks, watching fishing boats, and enjoying local seafood restaurants along the waterfront.

Sur is one of Oman's most characterful towns — the last place in the Arab world where traditional wooden dhows are still built by hand. The beach and corniche form the social heart of the city.
