Among the other natural and tourist attractions of Benood Beach are the small rocky islands nearby, which give the area a distinctive look and offer a good opportunity for fishing and nature photography. The area is a calm, carefree destination not only for locals but also for tourists. One reason for the fame of Benood Beach in Asaluyeh is a rare, endangered species of turtle, the hawksbill turtle (“Hawksbill Sea Turtle”), which comes to this beach to lay eggs from mid-Esfand (early March). Benood Beach in Asaluyeh is also known as “Coral Beach”, but among locals it is also famous as the “Eye of the Sea” because of its sandstone rocks. The people of Benood village mostly work as fishermen and live in houses built from palm leaves, which give the village a traditional and charming character.
