Chapakrud Beach

Chapakrud Beach is located in Mazandaran Province, about 14 kilometres from the town of Juybar. At roughly 18 kilometres long, it is considered one of the most unspoiled beaches in northern Iran. Its wide sandy expanse, clear water and relatively few visitors make Chapakrud Beach a peaceful choice for nature lovers.

Alongside its natural beauty, Chapakrud Beach Park offers a variety of facilities, including sports equipment, sand volleyball and futsal courts, children's play areas, summer and winter cabins, green spaces, restaurants and information signs. These make short stays possible and let visitors get the most out of the beach. Coastal management plans and swimming safety measures have also been put in place along parts of the beach, which makes it notable for its safety as well.

To reach Chapakrud Beach, you can take either the Khazarabad or the Juybar route; both lead to the Larim area and the town of Kuhikhil. After passing Kuhikhil and heading west, just before reaching Bahmanmir, you will find a dirt side road about 3 kilometres long that continues north and takes you directly to the beach. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is mild and the beach is less crowded. Responsible nature tourism in this area means keeping the environment clean, not damaging the coastal vegetation, using designated paths and respecting the local residents, so that this beautiful place remains sustainable for future generations.
