Bassa Beach

Bassa Beach, Oman: Overview

Welcome to Bassa Beach Oman’s best-kept secret and a slice of paradise tucked away in the Musandam Governorate. Just 2 km from Khasab’s ferry terminal, this unspoiled stretch of sand is a haven for beach lovers, adventure seekers, and stargazers alike.
What sets Bassa apart? It’s the rare, glowing “milky sea” phenomenon that lights up the shoreline at night. This bioluminescence, caused by microscopic plankton, creates a surreal glow that makes the sea shimmer like liquid stardust. 
By day, the beach offers calm turquoise waters perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or kayaking. The backdrop of rugged cliffs and the Strait of Hormuz adds a dramatic touch. Facilities include shaded areas, toilets, and food vendors on weekends.
