This beach is a mixed bag of tricks. You can enjoy it the best if you think of it as a local cultural experience for its party atmosphere rather than your typical suntanning spot where you can lie around undisturbed. Jordanians come to hang out here with family and friends, smoke shisha, barbecue, listen to music, and take rides on glass bottom boats. At weekends, it gets seriously crowded and noisy. Hence it’s not really handy for quietly enjoying the sun and the sea. The views, however, are lovely. The ground is very hard, there’s some dry dirt-like sand mixed with sunflower peels, plastic bottle caps, cigarette bits, and chicken bones. The water is relatively clean, however, often with all and sundry garbage either floating or sunk: plastic bags, bottles, pizza boxes, discarded underwear, etc. The garbage problem overall is quite big and persistent, the cleaners can’t seem to keep up with local people dumping plastic, food leftovers, and even clothes at a quite astounding rate. Swimming briefs and revealing bathing suits are not common here although mostly seem ignored if you wear such. That said, I was once told to put shorts over my speedos by a particularly zealous moraliser.

This could be an amazing place. Lots of busy vendors, good views, a lot of restaurants. But, and it is a big but. This place is super crowded and dirty. But worst of all i have never been to a place where tourists are as unwelcome as here. Everybody stares as if you are an alien, no matter the clothing. Everybody stares, talks about you. You could go swim here, but i am not sure you can imagine the uncomfortable attention you would get in a bathing suit, if being there fully and modestly clothed is as bad as it is here.

The only thing u can do here is take a walk and enjoy sunset. Sorry but this beach is just dirty and I think nothing for western people. Locals r just staring at you if you wear a t-shirt! I felt so harassed by the men looking at me. They also keep staring at the few western people going swimming. Rather go to a private beach like Berenice where you can go swimming in peace.

Local beach, full of people, and you can rent boat for small trips from this beach.

An extra ordinary beach of Jordan 🇯🇴 overlooking 🇮🇱 Israel. But cleanliness should given attention especially the public bathroom wich is not for free you have to pay for using it and what a surprise its so very dirty and disgusting 🤢

The place is very dirty Need more intersting

Beach close to town but very dirty. A lot of plastic on the sand but also in the sea! Floating plastic bottles, straws, bags. And please be careful, it's dangerous place with a lots of glass, local kids breaking bottles while parents watching and allowing it... Very sad to see that, better to choose another place.

Very dirty and dangerous. A lot of glass shreds on the beach, making walinkg bare foot very dangerous. Sellers and boat owners are very annoying

Nice place, crowded place and lots of people around. Most of the men swim and the all women wear burqini.

Good town, nice people whit good beach.

Well, It was all of what I expected from a local beach, we went for a sneak peak but it appeared to be very dirty and dangerous. A lot of glass shreds on the beach, making walkin bare foot very risky, also the plastic waste is horrendous. Sellers and boat owners were very annoying by offering their services and sticking to you as a sticky note. Don't come here if you are a white guy/girl

Very nice beach but it gas some problems first it is dirty and the workers can’t keep up so if you visit the beach help the workers a little by putting the garbage in the trash can. Second it is very crowded in the weekends so if you are hoping to relax or swim go to a private beach like berenice. If you go swimming wear a swimsuit that covers even though you wont have any problems some people might stare stare you. Third be careful because sometimes there is glass on the floor and it might get stuck in your foot. But anyways the beach has incredible views of the red sea. And I forgot to mention that the bathrooms cost 0.25jod And I don’t know if they are clean or not. So if you are looking for a average beach with nice views al ghandour beach is your place to go

Looks nice on pictures but it is very dirty. Broken bottles included

Not possible to relax or swim properly. For a proper beach experience you better travel south to the less crowded beaches

The beach is tiny (and crowded on weekends), but the water was reasonably clean. Very nice for a walk, all right for a quick stop at the beach, mediocre for a full day.

Nice beach, but you don't feel safe if you are a woman!!!

Public 🏖 Beach, cafes 🛥 boats...

It is a public beach. There are some trash on the seaside but the water is clean. I cannot compare to the beaches with fee. If you have only a short time it is a great spot for sunset swimming surrounded with locals. :)

The only public beach near to downtown but totally normal and I highly and recommend to swimming here but don’t using the bathroom there ! If you really want to have fun , go to the South Beach or get a fancy hotel 😑

Nice quiet town to relax Clear calm pristine sea, great to snorkelling or diving Delicious food

This place is too crowded because the beach is not extensive. You should come at morning before 9 if you want quiet. Its beautiful when sunset

Beautiful view. Nice peoples.

Cool water clean sea, the deep is perfect for all swimmers or non swimmer. Its public beach which can find many people from different cultures, sometimes wearing bikini 👙 there will turn all attentions on you therefore remember that.. you have to respect local culture. There is a washroom&toilets by 0.25JD ehich is good price .

Fresh air, fresh water, and fresh local foods. The beach is beautiful with desert/rock panoramic.
