Clifton Beach, Karachi

Dip your toes in the shiny, sandy shallows of the Arabian Sea at Clifton Beach--a perfect break from the city. A must see for first-time visitors to Karachi, the beach provides plenty of opportunities for photography and family activities (although swimming is not one of them). At daybreak, fishers haul in their nets while strolling along the long coast, and sunsets are particularly spectacular. During busy hours, the place is full of restaurant-goers and hustling camel/horse guides, but you can also enjoy a peaceful stroll on your own along the wide stretch of sand. A visit to Clifton Beach represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Karachi trip planner to plot your vacation.
