Daryaye Chahar Fasl (Four Seasons Sea)

The Four Seasons Sea of Behshahr (Daryaye Chahar Fasl) is part of the southern indentation of the Caspian Sea and lies in Behshahr County, Mazandaran Province. Because it runs along the Miankaleh Peninsula and its waters are calmer than those in other parts of the sea, it is also known as the "Calm Sea". It is one of the most relaxing tourist destinations in northern Iran, and visitors know it as a place to enjoy the coastal scenery, lovely sunsets and the peace of being beside the water.

On this stretch of coast, long sunsets with the sun's light reflecting off the still water make for a memorable experience. The Miankaleh Peninsula shields this part of the sea from strong waves, so the water is relatively calm. Tourist facilities such as restaurants, cafés and short walking paths have also been set up along the shore, and they attract evening strollers in particular. The nearby wetlands and natural habitats also make the area appealing to nature lovers and those interested in environmental activities.

The route to the Four Seasons Sea starts at the Behshahr ring road. After you turn onto the Iran University of Science and Technology road, you reach the shore. Some sources give the distance from the city centre as about "kilometre 12 of the University of Science and Technology road". The best time to visit is usually spring and autumn, when the weather is milder and there are slightly fewer visitors; in summer, especially at the peak of the tourist season, it may be more crowded. Visitors are kindly advised not to leave litter on the shore, to respect the signs and designated paths, and to avoid harming the natural marine and coastal habitat so that this beauty is preserved for future generations.
