Once in Sur, follow signs to Al-Khesah Beach by taking the exit onto HM42. Drive for about 10 kilometers on HM42, and you will arrive at Al-Khesah Beach.

Once you arrive in Sur, you can catch a taxi or use a ride-sharing service to continue to Al-Khesah Beach. The taxi ride from Sur to the beach will take approximately 15-20 minutes and may cost around 5 Omani Rials. It's advisable to arrange a return taxi in advance, as services can be limited in remote areas.

• Bicycle

  For the adventurous, cycling from Ras Al Jinz to Al-Khesah Beach is an option. The route follows the main roads, and while it is about 40 kilometers, it can be a scenic ride. Ensure that you have proper cycling gear, water, and a map. Take Route 23 heading north towards Sur, then follow HM42 to reach the beach. Be cautious of traffic, especially in busier areas.
