Kolbeh Hoor Beach

Kolbeh Hoor Beach, in the western part of Kish Island, is one of the most unique beaches in Iran. It lies on a rocky cape almost outside the urban area. The area has not only an old historic hut but is also known as a rocky headland with a diverse marine ecosystem. Many kinds of marine life live here, including grouper, red snapper, sangsar (a local reef fish), various shellfish and sea turtles, making it a great place for lovers of nature and marine life.

The area has an old lodged-in-the-mud dhow (traditional wooden boat), which is appealing both historically and visually, and is different from the Greek ship. On the southern shore of Kolbeh Hoor cape there is also a cave about five metres long, which is a striking sight at full high tide. The recreational activities at Kolbeh Hoor are varied and hold great appeal for visitors. Enthusiasts can swim in the clear, transparent water in designated safe areas, or, with suitable equipment, dive in the Kolbeh Hoor blue cave to discover the underwater world. The rocks along the shore are also a good spot for fishing, and visitors can enjoy happy moments with friends and family.

In addition, Kolbeh Hoor offers boat trips in the waters around the cape, showing off the beautiful coastal scenery. To reach the beach, first travel to Kish Island, then head toward Kolbeh Hoor cape via Persian Gulf Boulevard, Jahan Road and Hoor Square; you can get there by taxi or private car. The best time to visit is at sunset, when the colours of the sky and the waves crashing against the rocks create a spectacular view. Responsible visiting at this beach means respecting nature, not leaving litter, and avoiding damage to coral areas.
