Best Beach for Families?

Best Beach for Families?

We (3 families) are planning to visit any beach. We have never been at any beach yet. So we will not swim at all, just sit, eat, chit-chat there. So which beach is recommended where there are some facilities like shades, food, drinking water, rest-rooms, etc?

We heard about Dukhan but some ppl were saying that road is not good now a days. We are confused at all.

Please help us out in this regard.

I have also heard about Sealine but I read some comments about Sealine and they are not impressive and positive so therefore we dropped off Sealine. What you say?

If you are a Resident here in Qatar, you should see the Country. It's not big so you can cover it pretty easily. Get yourself a Map and also the Marhaba book, take your friends with you and drive, there are numerous nice beaches around in Qatar that are accessible with a normal Sedan. Sealine which is mentioned by others are maybe not the most impressive beach for some, but it is ok. It is not far away so go there first. Then on other weekends travel to Dukhan, Al Ruwais, Al Khor Etc, to see for yourself.
You will not find any facilities at any of the beaches so keep that in mind. (except inside the Sealine Beach Resort)

BEACH! Forget Sealine as its simply horrid and over run with peculiar people. Next best place is the beach to the right of the intercon in West Bay! Its super! Loads of broken bottles and slobs planning to dump their garbage where u wanna sit! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Give the kids a large gin and stay at home I say! Hic!

sealine beach resort is the most facilitated beach in my opinion. it has a swimming pool, a restaurant and other recreational facilities. Beach front is good.

Go to Shamal, its superb. The park has basic facilities such as rest room, shades etc. You dnt need to swim, u can sit in one of those boats (free of charge :P) n chit chat in the cool breeze while the boat is floating to the light waves (dnt worry, its anchored n the water is only knee high). You can simply walk into the sea for around a km, its just knee depth for so long. Not too crowded like mesaeed n ofcourse no need to pay a cent unlike sealine n got plenty of space to sit, eat n hv a nap in the garden. Take ur food n water. If u take old khor road n follow ruwais/shamal directons given on roads, u'll reach shamal. Ask anyone there, where the park is n u r there. Enjoy ur time.
