Half Moon Bay Crescent Coast (Al Khobar)

Curving gracefully along the Eastern Province coast just south of Al Khobar and Dhahran, Half Moon Bay (Khaleej Nisf Al Qamar) is one of the premier beach recreation and maritime leisure destinations on the Arabian Gulf. Named for its natural crescent shape, the bay enjoys protected, shallow waters that are virtually free of strong currents, creating ideal conditions for swimming, jet skiing, sailing, and family beach holidays. Lined with luxury beachfront resorts, private beach chalets, and public coastal parks, Half Moon Bay offers golden sand beaches sloping gently into warm emerald waters. For generations, it has served as an essential weekend coastal retreat for the Eastern Province community. Modern marinas provide deep-sea fishing charters into the Persian Gulf, alongside scuba diving excursions to nearby artificial reefs. Sunset along the bay's curved shoreline, accompanied by fresh gulf seafood dining, offers a tranquil coastal experience.
