Reaching to the Destination
To reach the destination, you have two routes, i.e. the Mauripur Road, which was formerly known as the Hawk’s Bay Road and the other one is via Mubarak Goth Road. You need to bypass a string of other ravishing beaches of Karachi such as Hawks Bay, Sands Pit, Paradise Point, French Beach, and some others, till the end of the road to reach the mesmerizing Cape Monze Beach.
Historic Side of the Beach
At Ras Muari i.e. Cape Monze Beach you can find a lighthouse that was basically built by the British regime in 1914 for the purpose of navigation of the vessels. During the British government rule in India, this masterpiece was built. During World War I, the lighthouse actually sat off the Iranian island of Qais, and at that time it was quite treasured in assisting and supporting the maritime traffic.
It is said that the light from the lighthouse was visible from a distance of 10 miles away. Contrasting to the Manora Point Lighthouse, this lighthouse at Cape Monze beach was not in reality visible from Karachi. It was not visible from any other spot of the popular beaches as well. Back then, for the construction of this beach and making it accessible for the general public, construction material was carried with the help of the camels.
Pure Solitude and Natural Beauty
There is no doubt that Cape Mount Beach is one of the most spectacular tourist points in Karachi. People from all over the world love to visit this beautiful beach with their friends and families. It is nearly impossible to forget even a glimpse of this heaven on the Earth beach. Right from the highland, after parking your vehicle, you can witness a sensational long stretching pristine beach and once you get down near the shore getting through mountain rifts, the spectacular beach becomes an experience for you that will stay with you forever.
Attractions and Beauty
Since the beach is really far away from the main city, therefore, it is unspoiled and less crowded as compared to many other beaches of Karachi. It is quite remoted and this is the main reason you can easily find Cape Monze as one of the perfect beaches to unwind your tired body and mind while cherishing every moment of life.
There are a lot of activities at the beach that can help you in rejuvenating your lost energy such as riding at the back of a camel with your friends, having a long horse ride, or enjoying the beach buggies and racing around the coastline.

But Cape Mount beach is clean and clear, nurturing the inhabitants and protecting them. There are dolphins, whales, and even turtles. There is no need to be frightened as whales are only in the deep sea area, they will not come to harm any human in a shallow water area. It is also a hatching and feeding ground for the endangered turtles.
Best Time to Reach and Enjoy
Getting to a beach just requires energy and a plan to hatch, as everyone is always up for some enjoyment. But for Cape Monze Beach things are relatively a bit different.
