Khawr Fakkān - Secret Beach
UPDATE (June-2020): The military / police has banned entering the beach area. (They put a sign board on top of Al Rabi Trail to prevent access of people to the beach)
It is bit challenging as there is no proper path. just follow the wadi and take care of loose rocks. The view from the top will boost your energy to reach the beach!

Hey guys ! Now Theres a board saying that hiking to the beach is not allowed . I was there yesterday
@nevinalex
Yes Nevin, couple of months before they put the board to prevent access to the beach. That is really sad
Yes it is. I didnt know about that , and I was going to use your trail route. I got to know about this once I reached the starting point. I think you should mention that theres no access to secret beach in your trail blog. It will help others
@nevinalex
Done.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Muhasin
Are you saying this hike is not accessible anymore? Is the picture real? :)
@Rémi Vacher
Hi, Nice to meet you here.
The update is recently they have (military / authority) prohibited access to the beach.
There are two trails (even more) to this destination. This is the first one i did.
This trail starts from a labor camp area and the security guy will not allow you to pass through and he will say "It is prohibited".
There is another trail also in my profile. https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/khorfakkan-secret-beach-from-al-rabi-tower-47805638
If you follow my second trail which is starting from al rabi tower, you can reach halfway and see the beautiful view of the beach. But you can see a notice board placed by the authorities saying that it is prevented to enter the beach.
I was lucky enough to do both the trail before this ban comes place.
Al Rabi trail you can still try and see the beach view... that trail is really nice one.. but still beach is not accessible.
Pictures are real, you can check more in my Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/mhsnpkl/
Let me know if you require any other info.

Thinking about trying this tomorrow.
Has Anyone done that recently?
Was any one able to do the trail, still cant be accessible?
Hello friends... The authorities had out a signboard in another trail (Al Rabi) which saying that the entry to the beach is prohibited.. However, I have noticed that people are still doing the trail through this way (starting from the labor camp)
Since the entry is banned by authorities, Its like do it on your own risk..
