It is possible to hold the misconception that Pakistan is exclusively composed of mountains, plains, and deserts if one has never had the opportunity to explore the region. Most people probably think of the River Indus and Mount K2 when they hear about this nation. Stretching 1,046 kilometres along the Arabian Sea, Pakistan’s coastline is very extensive. Its coastline is longer than that of nations like Cyprus, Hong Kong, and Jamaica. Many of Pakistan’s most beautiful beaches are located in Karachi, the country’s largest city.
In between seeing the historic towns and doing mountain hiking, the next time you visit Pakistan with PIA, you may want to make a stop at these stunning beaches that rival the Maldives in comparison.
Astola Beach
Astola Island, off the shore of the Balochistan Region, is home to Astola Beach. The island is tiny, deserted, and has beautiful, unspoiled beaches. It takes around four hours to get to the island by boat, but the trip is well worth it. A swim in the warm water against the background of picturesque cliffs is a memorable experience in and of itself. Bring water and food, and if you can, a tent.
French Beach
Spend some time on the beach between Paradise Point and Hawkes Bay mingling with Karachi’s upper class. Take a hut rental and dive and snorkel in your own little paradise for the day. It is around a 45-minute drive away, so based on reports found online, it’s a terrific way to escape the city. It is strongly suggested that you go fishing.
Gwadar West Bay Beach
The Balochistan Region is home to Paddi Zirr, where one can see Gwadar West Bay Beach. Get ready to be greeted with soft sand and sparkling seas, accompanied by breathtaking vistas and equally stunning sunsets. Rocky mountains provide a picturesque background to the beach, and a shipwreck awaits your exploration.
Ormara Beach
Situated in the port city with the same name, Ormara Beach is another beach in the Balochistan province. Historical accounts place Alexander the Great’s brief stay with his troops in this ancient coastal hamlet. While it is a beautiful area to go bike riding, you should still bring adequate food and water in case of an emergency. Some areas lack phone coverage and nighttime street lights, according to online reviews.
Kund Malir
Kund Malir is situated in the Balochistan Region, within the Hingol National Park. With stunning vistas, immaculate sand and water, and a mountain background, this lovely beach is well-maintained. Because there are no eateries in the area, you should probably pack a picnic to enjoy on the beach. Fishing is popular here, although the beach isn’t busy.
Sandspit Beach
Sandspit is a family-friendly beach that everyone will love. The waters are generally tranquil, except during the monsoon season. The beach lets you ride horses or camels as in fairytales. Those who like the outdoors may see Olive Ridley and Green turtles. Turtles nest and deposit their eggs on this beach, hence WWF Pakistan is protecting them.
Gadani Beach
