Things to know before you go
The red sea effect: Thanks to the rocks and minerals along its northern stretch, a remarkable optical effect appears at sunset — the reflected evening sun turns the waves a deep, fiery red.
Action & leisure: Ladghar matches Murud for adrenaline, and its cliff-side wind corridors make it the best place on the coast for parasailing and high-speed jet skiing.
“Families and adventure seekers love the safe, shallow shoreline for swimming, plus morning dolphin-sighting boat tours, jet ski, parasailing, camel, ATV and banana rides.”
