Known to the locals as Haji Ali Goth, French Beach is actually a small fishing village in Karachi\u2019s coastal area. According to the local tales, a pair of French individuals visited the beach due to its picturesque beauty a long time back, which gave this part of the coast its unique name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing the tourists\u2019 love for nature and the beautiful rocky beach, the local fishermen began to build rough rental huts for picnickers. Over the years, the area gained a lot of popularity, and those small, roughly built huts gave way to beach villas that are now owned by Karachi\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the other beaches on Karachi\u2019s shoreline, French Beach is not a soft sand beach. It is a shoreline filled with jagged rocks that give way to a pebbly beach. Visitors recommend wearing flip flops at all times to avoid cutting yourself on the sharp edges, but the view and beauty are well worth a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get to French Beach from Karachi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The location of French Beach places it between Paradise Point\u2014another beach that was quite famous in the 80s and 90s\u2014and Hawke’s Bay\u2014a beach almost every Karachiite has been to. While all these beaches are located along the same stretch of Mauripur Road<\/a>, at a short distance from one another, French Beach is set farther away from the main road, on a dedicated track named French Beach Road that can take you to the shoreline and the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Book a Hut at French Beach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

French Beach, Karachi, is a fairly secured beach surrounded by a boundary wall, which makes it a favourite picnic destination for elite Karachiites. This is why, in spite of being a public beach, access is restricted to those who own or have rented a hut in the area. Unfortunately, if you want to book a hut at French Beach, there is no easy answer to this query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While access is somewhat limited to owners and renters, it is nearly impossible to find someone who actually owns or is willing to rent out a hut on French Beach. Several corporations do own their own huts there and usually use it for their annual company picnics. Having contacts to renting any one of these huts or tagging along with someone going there are among the sure-fire ways of visiting French Beach for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, consider posting your request for renting a beach hut on French Beach online on social forums and groups, and you might find an owner who is willing to rent out their premises for the day and give you permission to visit French Beach. Visiting French Beach without a hut reservation is also a possibility, but there is no guarantee that access will be granted to your vehicle or that you\u2019ll find a hut ready to rent on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
