Khajeh Ata Beach

Khajeh Ata Beach lies in the Nayband-e Jonubi neighbourhood of Bandar Abbas, between Taleghani Boulevard and Ghadir Boulevard. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Iran. The beach is named after the historical and cultural figure "Khajeh Ata" and offers both natural and social attractions in the heart of Bandar Abbas.

Khajeh Ata Beach became especially well known in 2024 (1403 in the Iranian calendar) when the largest beach swing in Iran was installed here. This wooden swing is 9 metres high and weighs about seven tonnes. It was built from timber taken from the Shahid Bahonar Jetty, which was 50 years old, and was installed on the beach through the efforts of local people. Besides the swing, the beach has attractive gazebos, making it a good place to rest and watch the sunset. Locals and tourists come here to watch the sunset, the lights of the ships and the small and large islands.

To reach Khajeh Ata Beach, you can use Taleghani Boulevard or Ghadir Boulevard in the Nayband-e Jonubi neighbourhood. The best time to visit is during the cooler seasons of the year, especially autumn and winter. In these seasons, the mild weather and beautiful scenery make for a pleasant experience. When visiting the beach, please practise responsible nature tourism, including not harming the environment and keeping the area clean.
