About Half Moon Beach

Access to the calm and tranquil Half Moon Beach is only possible by hiking or boat. It is a very popular destination in the city of Al-Khobar for people looking for a fun outing to the seaside. The beach is rather well-developed, has cabana-style shaded sitting areas and showers. The water throughout this area is clear, shallow and calm, with very little waves and no tide at all so it is quite safe for swimming and other water-related activities. One can enjoy water sports, fishing, and various other activities like horseback and camel riding. One section of the beach has sand dune hills, where plenty of thrill seekers can be seen scaling the dunes on their ATVs. There are many enjoyable and thrilling activities on the beach along with an amusement park with lots of rides for all age groups. It is a perfect place to escape from the busy city life into a calm atmosphere with family and friends.

How to reach

It is 30 km from the city center. One can hire a taxi or take a personal vehicle.
