Tiwi Beach — Beach in Al Sharqiyah, Oman

About Tiwi Beach

A breathtaking cove beach with turquoise water and contrasting white pebble shore, framed by jagged cliffs. Located right next to the legendary Wadi Tiwi — the perfect base for a combined beach and wadi day.

Snorkellers regularly encounter batfish, stingrays, and sea snakes in the transparent water. A secret cave partially submerged at the rock face is a favourite local discovery.
