What you'll do

Azaiba Beach Park sits between Al Ghubra and Qurum, and is a genuinely local family spot: a strip of lawn and palm trees running straight onto a long, calm sandy beach, with a small children's play area, outdoor exercise equipment and a shaded gazebo right at the sand's edge.
It's quieter and less commercial than Qurum Beach, with clear, shallow water that's good for paddling and easy castle-building, plus watercraft (jet skis, kayaks) available from operators along the sand for older kids and teens.
Families come for evening walks along the grass, sunset, and a simple free outing without the crowds of the bigger beach parks.

🎒 Bring & wear

Swim kit and water shoes, a picnic blanket, sun protection — shade is limited to a couple of gazebos.

💡 Family tips

  • Go for the sunset — the calm water and open lawn make it a nice free evening out
  • Water is shallow and clear close in, good for younger kids; ask locally before swimming further out
  • Less crowded than Qurum Beach on weekday evenings
  • Bring cash if you want to rent a kayak or jet ski from the beach operators
