    Hello! I heard this place is a private property and that you need permission to enter and can only stay few hours how true is it?

    Hi Ann,

    Sorry for the late reply..

    It is still unclear about the entrance.. i heard people are driving all the way there but couldn't enter and coming back disappointed..

    At the same time i am seeing pictures of some others accessing the beach..

    May be as you said, they have permission...

    If you have any info, please update.. Thanks

    Hey Muhasin..I made it to Shuweihat Island just recently on the National Day. The Island is still open but I am afraid in the near future they won’t allow visitors anymore and I can understand why. As I was there i saw people are there for camping but what disappoint me is people who were visiting the place leave their trashes in the Island. I saw trash bags lying everywhere. This Island is indeed beautiful, the water is crystal clear and the rock formations is what really amazed me. Now there are houses owned my locals and they put fences so no outsiders can enter. There is only one spot for visitors to come and only that part they can have access to the beach.
