Al Ashkharah

The place today

Al Ashkharah is a fishing and beach town on the eastern shore of the Arabian Sea coast, with long sandy beaches and steady onshore wind that already attracts kitesurfing.

Cruising notes

• Open, exposed coast with limited natural shelter.
• Consistent wind — an asset for sport, a challenge for harbour design.

Position on the coast

• Ras Al Hadd lies approximately 52 nautical miles to the north.
• Masirah lies approximately 89 nautical miles to the south.
• Distances are indicative great-circle estimates with a routing allowance, not navigational data.
