Al Wakra Beach
Al Wakrah, fishing and pearling village turned bustling little town, is situated 10 km south of Doha and the beach is approximately 15 km southeast of the town centre. It is a flat, wide and sandy beach starting off golden in colour and getting lighter and softer as you approach the sea. Like Simaisma, the sea is far from the beach, especially at low tide. Once you get to the sea, the shallow water extends for a very long distance making it almost impossible and unsafe to swim.
Nevertheless, the walk to the sea is good fun. In fact, you may find it takes longer than planned due to the large pools of seawater in between the sand bars, which in our case proved an irresistible distraction to the little ones! Kiddies will enjoy seeing a crab or two side-stepping quickly in the sand, feeling shoals of tiny fish swimming around their toes and finding seaweed and a myriad of shells to put in their bucket.
