French Beach Karachi – Location, Hut Booking, Resorts and other Details

The French beach is locally known as Haji Ali Goth. It is a small fishing village located in the coastal area of Karachi. It is named as French beach because a pair of French individuals visited the beach because of its scenic location, and thus after that, it has been known as a French beach.

French beach is not soft and sandy, unlike other beaches. It has a rocky path. It is better to visit the beach wearing flip flops or slippers; otherwise, you can cut or hurt yourself because of the sharp, edgy rocks. The view and the scenic beauty attract the customers to the beach.

Since this beautiful beach attracted many tourists, many tourists used to visit the place during the seasonal months; seeing the outrageous numbers of beach visitors, the local fisherman built small, beautiful huts for the tourists. The location grew in popularity over time, and those modest, shabbily constructed huts gave way to seaside villas currently owned by Karachi’s upper class.

Location

French Beach is located farther away from the main road, on a designated road known as French Beach Road, which leads to the shoreline. The French beach is located between Hawke’s Bay, a very famous Beach in Karachi and Paradise Point.

Hut Booking

French beach is surrounded by a boundary wall, making it a very safe place. It is one of the best picnic points for Karachi’s elite class. They host parties at their beach villas and spend their weekends at their beach house to have a little fun. Although the beach is public property, the access is only limited to those who own the property or have rented out a hut there. It is not easy to book a hut at a French beach.

French Beach Huts to rent out

The only way to rent out a hut at French beach is to find a strong contact who owns property there or has enough influence to rent it out. It is also possible to visit French Beach without making a hut reservation, but there is no guarantee that your vehicle will be given access or that you will find a hut to rent out. 

Things to do on the French Beach

If you have been successful in reserving a French beach hut, you must consider the following tips to enjoy the fullest at the beach. 

  • Swimming in the clean and fresh water.
  • Scuba Diving to experience the underwater world.
  • Jet skiing along the shore
  • A great surfing experience for surfers
  • Windsurfing for an adrenaline boost.
  • Kayaking requires a lot of strength to paddle.
  • Fishing experience to have fresh fish for dinner.

Things to keep in mind before visiting the French beach

  • Try to book the hut before visiting the beach.
  • Ali Goth village does not have a water supply, so before visiting, ensure that the hut has a full water tank and water pump.
  • Keep extra clothes with you and a pair of flip flops as well because most likely you will get wet because of the waves.
  • Pack your food and drinks because nothing will likely be found near the huts.
  • The beach is open 24/7, but your stay at the beach depends on the hut’s booking. 

Conclusion

Though the French beach has its beauty, don’t get sad if you do not get a hut there because there are many other beautiful picnic spots within the city to explore.
