The fine, golden sand of Al Durayhimi Coast Beach stretches softly beneath your feet, warmed by the Red Sea sun, inviting a gentle stroll along its secluded edge. This hidden coastal haven, nestled south of Al Hudaydah city, provides a serene retreat from the everyday, embodying the untouched beauty of Yemen's lesser-known shores. OnlyBeaches notes its strong OBI score, placing it firmly within our Tier 2 category for its unique blend of natural allure and peaceful ambiance. The beach itself is a long, sandy expanse, ideal for leisurely walks and children's play. The Red Sea waters here are typically calm and shallow near the shore, making it a safe and inviting spot for swimming and wading, especially for families. There are no strong currents or significant surf, allowing for a relaxed experience in the gentle lapping waves. The sand is soft and clean, perfect for building sandcastles or simply unwinding under the vast sky. While beautiful throughout the day, Al Durayhimi truly comes alive as evening approaches. The sunsets here are legendary, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange and purple that reflect spectacularly off the tranquil watersβa truly unforgettable sight. The cooler months, from October to March, offer the most pleasant temperatures for a visit, avoiding the intense summer heat. This beach is best suited for those seeking solitude, a family-friendly environment, and an authentic connection with nature away from commercialized tourist spots. A local tip: bring your own refreshments and a blanket; staying to watch the stars emerge after sunset is an experience not to be missed.
