Suprisingly for a peninsula country Qatar has few decent public beaches easily reachable from a road. One of these was 
Al Wakra beach, originally home to a park, a wide sandy beach and 
mangrove swamps which proved a haven for wildlife. Unfortunately this has now been 
dug up - but Al Wakra's determined beach goers now navigate offroad to reach this strip of beach by Al Wakra's power station.
