Fuwairit Beach

Overview

About This Place

💡Did you know?Green sea turtles nest at Fuwairit every summer — and remarkably, females return to the exact beach where they were born to lay their own eggs.

One of Qatar's most beautiful and unspoiled stretches of coastline, Fuwairit Beach lies along the northern shore of the peninsula. Its clear turquoise waters, soft white sand, and gentle waves make it a perfect escape from the city. The beach is also one of the most important nesting sites in Qatar for the endangered green sea turtle.
