Best location for an evening drive with your family or friends. Sitting areas are all around the island. Ample parking is available in the Island. Kids play area is also available. It is really fun to climb the tower yet it is very narrow and not always clean.

Wonderful sunset view, Good Enjoyment with family and kids, has boating boat little bit costly compare to half moon beach, some huts was dirty and required maintenance, gate to the marjan tower was closed may be due to pandemic, but over all worthy weekend trip.
