South Sandbank beach

South Sandbank is a wild beach in the very south of Bahrain. Depending on weather conditions, it also may be just a sandspit extending far into the sea. There is no real beach to speak of. However, this spot looks somewhat like famous Maldives sandbanks. So if you bring an umbrella and enough water, you'll have a good time in complete seclusion - quite like Robinson. Sea water is usually perfectly clear. So you can chill in shallow water. It is possible to get here by car or just walk under the sun from the Durrat VIP complex. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels near the sand bank. The nearest hotels are located a little to the north - in the upscale complex of Durrat Al Bahrain. Rooms' fares start from US$500 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Bahrain international airport (BAH). Next hire a taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a holiday on the beaches of Bahrain is spring and autumn. Since it is too hot here during the summer time. While sea water is too cold in winter.
