One of the quieter areas along the coast, it is also a beautiful place for a morning jog along the beachside running track, or taking a stroll with panoramas of the Arabian Gulf. It is ideal for surfing and fishing and also one of the few places in the city where you can enjoy a nightswim.

Al Mamzar Beach Park
@vanillanoor
Located near the Sharjah-Dubai border, it is a perfect spot for an Instagram-worthy sunrise or sunset.

The gardens contain more than 1,600 palm trees, 300 coconut trees and over 55,000sqm of green lawns. Food kiosks along the beach park let you easily grab something to eat by the water.
