Benud Village

Benud Village is located in Asaluyeh County, Bushehr Province, in Nayband Rural District. With its hot, humid climate, shallow beach and the clear waters of the Persian Gulf, it is regarded as one of the most pristine beaches in southern Iran, and it was also one of the filming locations of the film Muhammad: The Messenger of God. Benud lies about 35 kilometers east of Asaluyeh and 6 kilometers from Chah Mobarak. The combination of mountains, beach and calm sea offers spectacular views for photography and nature tourism.

Benud Beach is known for its sea cave, called "Cheshm-e Darya" (Eye of the Sea), as well as its tall cliffs and soft coral sand. The beach is well suited to swimming, boat trips with local fishermen, overnight camping, cave exploration and watching hawksbill turtles. The beach stays quiet and peaceful for most of the year, and at sunset the sunlight reflecting off the water and the rocks creates a beautiful scene. Because mass tourism has not developed here, the beach remains pristine and tranquil, offering a chance to experience the simple life of the locals and traditional fishing. Because of the hot, dry southern climate, the vegetation of the area consists mostly of hardy shrubs, palms and species of salt-tolerant plants.

Benud Village can be reached via the Asaluyeh–Chah Mobarak road, followed by a dirt track toward the beach. The best times to visit Benud are autumn, winter and early spring, so that the oppressive summer heat and humidity do not spoil your trip. For responsible nature travel in this area, you are advised not to leave litter on the beach, to respect the turtles' habitat and the local environment, and not to light fires on the beach sand, so that the area remains pristine.
