1. About the Trail
Secret Beach Trail starts from the coastal park area near Khor Fakkan and climbs gradually along a clear, well-trodden path overlooking the Gulf of Oman. The route is usually described as 3–4 km with around 200–270 m of elevation gain, making it a favourite “short but rewarding” hike: you get city, port and mountain views on one side and hidden coves, Heart Beach and turquoise water on the other. At the end, a small secluded beach offers time to rest, swim and enjoy the quiet before returning on the same trail.
- Beginner-friendly distance with just enough climb to feel like a “real hike” without being too technical.
- Panoramic views over Khor Fakkan town, Suhub Rest Area and the wider coastline as you gain height.
- Guided by The Hike & Co. leaders with relaxed pacing and breaks at scenic lookout points and the beach itself.
