Located on the Eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, Half Moon Bay has that laid-back feel that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The sand is soft, the beach is wide, and it’s not hard to find a quiet corner to call your own. Mornings here are for swimming or casting a line; afternoons are for dune rides or long naps in the shade. And if you're lucky, the breeze cools down just enough at night to make the fire feel perfect. It’s not fancy. That’s the point.

Not many places can give you mountains and sea in one view Khorfakkan does. On the eastern coast of Sharjah, this beach is a favorite for men who want more than just a pretty shoreline. The water is calm enough for a kayak, the nearby hills are perfect for a short climb, and the air smells like salt and stone. You don’t need much to enjoy it here: just good company, decent gear, and a taste for mornings that start slow and end with grilled dinner and bare feet in the sand.

Sir Bani Yas is not your average beach campsite. You’re not just sleeping by the water you’re sharing the land with gazelles, flamingos, and more birds than you’ll care to count. The island is home to a nature reserve, which makes the whole experience feel less like a beach trip and more like a wild retreat. One moment you’re kayaking through shallow coves, the next you’re spotting animals from the edge of your camp. It’s not for everyone, but for those who crave something offbeat, it hits the spot.

If you want quiet, Al Zour gives you quiet. Set along Kuwait’s southern coast, it’s not the most commercial place and that’s a blessing. You show up with your own gear, your own rhythm, and make the space yours. No loud crowds, no packed cafés just sea, sky, and the occasional friendly face. The fishing is surprisingly good, and you won’t need much to settle into the slow pace. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you how good simple can feel.

The best beach camping trips usually start with low expectations and good preparation. Don’t overthink it just choose your location based on your mood: action-packed or totally chill. Make sure your tent is wind-friendly, pack more water than you think you’ll need, and bring lighting that won’t fail you after sundown. Oh, and one thing most people forget: a good chair. You’ll thank yourself later. Most importantly, leave no trash behind. A clean beach is the best thank-you you can offer to the place that let you breathe again.
