Walk to Clifton Beach. Spend the next hour people-watching and enjoying the sea breeze. The beach is free to enter and offers a relaxed atmosphere for families and tourists.

Head up to the Abdullah Shah Ghazi Mausoleum. This 1,400-year-old shrine sits on a hilltop overlooking the beach. The green dome is a striking landmark, and the complex offers a peaceful, historical contrast to the busy shore below.
Local tip
The beach sand is grey and muddy, not white. Swimming can be dangerous due to strong currents, especially from June to August, so stick to the shore for safety.
