The emirate of Al Fujairah has the longest beach area in the UAE. Some of the beaches are located on the territory of hotels and water parks, which offer every imaginable kind of entertainment on the water. There are paid and free beaches.
The beaches are usually sandy, but there are also rocky stretches of coastline. The cleanliness of the beaches is amazing and is jealously monitored not only by the resort's public utilities, but also by beachgoers themselves.
Which is the best beach in Fujairah?
Dibba Beach
The clearest water with few tourists is at Dibba North Beach, which is a long way from the city. This quiet and very clean sandy beach is surrounded by mountains and landscaped with specially grown plants.
Al-Aqa
Popular beach area, and especially with divers: exotic fish and marine animals abound, and those who can dive better than others, and have a lot of experience, allow themselves to wonder about the remains of sunken ships. Fishing in the open sea is also organized here: if you want, you can fish all day long - there are different species, and quite large ones.
Sandy Beach
Not far away is Sandy Beach, a beach with a similarly rich underwater world, but you can also learn to dive there, even if you've never done it before - there are courses for beginners and experienced divers.
Korfakan
Korfakan beach is some distance from city life - about 25km away, and is a favorite destination for those who like peace and quiet - there are few tourists on this beach.
Tips for a beach vacation in Fujairah
There are some extra costs involved in a beach vacation, such as beach umbrellas and sunbeds, even on free beaches, but they don't cost that much, so you can afford to relax in comfort.
On all beaches, don't neglect special coral slippers to protect your feet from the ubiquitous sea urchins (especially on Snoopy Island). And if you're going swimming in the Gulf of Oman, make sure you don't get caught in a period when there's an influx of stinging plankton.
