Ghadir Coastal Park

Ghadir Coastal Park is located in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, and is one of the most popular coastal tourist destinations in southern Iran. The park runs along the Persian Gulf shoreline on Ghadir Boulevard and offers visitors a beautiful view of the sea. Strolling along the beach, listening to the soothing sound of the waves, spotting colorful seashells on the sand and watching the spectacular sunset make for an unforgettable experience for any traveler. With a 1,500-metre shoreline, the longest in Bandar Abbas, Ghadir Park is the city's largest coastal park. The presence of the Avini Concert Hall and the Goharshad Hotel next to the park adds to its importance.

The park offers many recreational and sports facilities to suit a variety of tastes. If you enjoy cycling, there is a dedicated bike path and bicycles are available for rent. For fans of team sports, there are volleyball and basketball courts, where even balls can be rented along with the court. Other exciting activities, such as boating, kite surfing, swimming, a paintball club, camel riding and horse riding, are also available in the park and entertain both adults and children. In the warm seasons, the sand sculpture festival is held as a signature event. Ghadir Park is also a good place for camping and staying overnight. You can pitch a tent in a corner of the park, spend the night to the lovely sound of the sea waves and start the morning to the cries of seagulls. Gazebos and cooking areas are also provided for family gatherings and for preparing a memorable lunch. Together with the charming natural setting of the beach, all these facilities have made Ghadir Park one of the most popular and complete recreational attractions in Bandar Abbas.

To reach the park, you can take Ghadir Boulevard, which is accessible from various parts of Bandar Abbas. The park can be visited every day of the week; according to some sources, it is open 24 hours a day. The best time to visit is early in the morning or close to sunset, to avoid the intense heat and direct sunlight. For a responsible nature visit, please keep the following in mind: put litter in the designated bins, avoid damaging the coastal vegetation, reduce your use of single-use plastics and respect the park's rules.
