The warm, fine sand of Al Tuwal Coastal Beach sifts between your toes as a gentle Red Sea breeze whispers past, carrying the scent of salt and distant desert flora. This captivating stretch of shoreline in Jazan Province is a testament to the Red Sea’s quieter, more secluded beauty, far from the bustling crowds.
