I visited Wakra beach today hoping for some swimming and kitesurfing only to find out it is closed to all! No access by car or foot and no swimming kitesurfing etc allowed... Guarded by two police vehicles. Hoping and expecting this is temporary.. Updates appreciated!

It is closed! police didnt tell me why? I went there on 4 Sept 14 around 4.30.

They told me here "Mamnu" go to family beach, which they have summer slpash fun but not really fun when i go there. Bad road, far, and not good for swiming.

Be careful of the rising tide towards the evening. Last time we had gone too far and we did not realize the water level had gone up. Really panicked thank God made it safely to the beach.

Maybe their planning to install some sort of security/lifeguard there. A few people died during Eid while swimming. or was it Sealine beach. :-/
