Sitra Beach

Sitra Beach is one of the most important and best-known tourist beaches in the city of Nowshahr, in Mazandaran Province. It is located along Karimi Boulevard, next to Hosseini Beach (Plage Hosseini). Covering about 19 hectares, this tourism complex is run by the Nowshahr Municipality. It is regarded as one of Iran's model tourist areas and welcomes Iranian and international visitors in every season of the year. Its location on the shore of the Caspian Sea has made it one of the busiest tourist spots in northern Iran.

With its wide range of amenities and recreational facilities, Sitra is considered one of the most complete tourist beaches in Mazandaran. Jet skiing, boating, beach volleyball, walking along the shore and morning exercise are among the main attractions of the complex. Lifeguard stations, camping areas, showers, restrooms, shopping centers, cafés and entertainment areas such as an amusement park make this beach a suitable place for families. Thanks to the large number of visitors, the beach also takes on a lively, social atmosphere in the evening and at night.

Sitra Beach is easy to reach via the city of Nowshahr and Karimi Boulevard, and because it lies within the city, urban services and accommodation are also very easily accessible. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when water activities and the beach setting are at their best. Responsible tourism, keeping the beach clean and respecting public spaces all play an important part in preserving the quality of this tourist complex.
