Souru Coastal Park (Kapshekan)

Souru Coastal Park is one of the natural and recreational attractions of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan Province, located in the Souru neighborhood. Covering an area of about 30,000 square meters, it is one of the most popular seaside parks in the south of Iran. Green space takes up about 12,000 square meters of the park, and trees such as coconut palms, date palms, cycads, sea hibiscus, Garm Zangi and plumeria give the setting a distinctive look. Long-time residents of Bandar Abbas call this beach "Kapshekan Park", meaning "breakwater".

Facilities at Souru Coastal Park include separate sunbathing beaches for women and men, a children's playground, a restaurant, a café, stone benches, attractive sculptures on the shore, and space for pitching travel tents. The park also offers water activities such as banana boat rides and boating. In addition, the park's 7,000-square-meter cycling path is a good place to ride in the fresh, pleasant air of the morning or evening, adding to the park's appeal. Thanks to its coastal location, the park is also a good place to watch migratory birds and flamingos in certain seasons.

To reach the park, turn from Ayatollah Taleghani Boulevard onto Farzanegan Street, then continue to Jahangardi Boulevard until you arrive at Souru Coastal Park. The park is open 24 hours a day and admission is free. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and ideal for strolling along the shore. In these seasons you can enjoy the park's natural beauty and recreational facilities.
