A good beach to spend the day. Hawks Bay was a favorite beach since pre-partition days. Being a gentle beach close to Karachi, it was a popular haunt in the sixties and seventies when the elite set up small huts with basic utilities for short sojourns. Huts still exist and one can rent good huts with decent facilities like a lounge, kitchen stocked with utensils and crockery, bedroom, bathroom, verandah opening to the beach, car park, etc supported by electricity-producing generator, gas stove, underground sweet water storage tank, etc. Cars and vehicles are not allowed on the beach.

The water and the beach are lovely. The sand is golden and good for making sandcastles. The beachfront is not too steep and allows for good swimming and windsurfing. The breeze is strong and sometimes undercurrents are also strong in the deeper areas. Novice swimmers to stay close to the beach and void deep pockets. Lifeguards are present and patrol the beach. The best season is after September to March. Months to avoid are the monsoon season as the water is infested with Blue Bottle jellyfish whose long tentacles stings when they come in contact with the skin. Usually not harmful as the pain subsides in a couple of hours. A local remedy is to apply salt and oil to mitigate burning and pain.

One needs to carry food for consumption as there are no provision stores. Do take the ice in an icebox to cool drinks. Carry fruit and beverages too. Camel and horse rides are popular and an experience and popular too.
