Unexplored Murud: Northern Part of Murud Beach

It's close to impossible that anyone who has been to Murud has missed it's beach. The Beach is about 2-3 kms in length flanked by cliffs with the Nawab's  Palace to the north and the Ekdaria river to the south.

However, most of the people visit the southern and central part of the beach; while ignoring th north. The main reason is because most places of stay and eateries are located there.
Good for me, I usually find this stretch to be empty even if its some holiday weekend.
I went to this beach just about at sunrise time. Sunrise is delayed thanks to the presence of a couple of hills in the east.






The best part of northern beach is that it has:

1. A completely sandy part.
2. A completely rocky part 
3. A combination of part sandy-part rocky 
4. Cliffs.

Sandy, Rocky and Cliffy part crested by the Siddi Nawab's Palace:

The sand here is more whiter than other parts. Am glad it's turning white again. The sand at Murud had become black due to an oil spill about a decade ago.

If you look at the opposite side of the sea, you can see this Masjid like structure at the top of the hill. It is the Eidgah (place were Eid prayers are held). Hence used only twice a year.




And right in front towards the sea lies the Kasa Fort:

Since the tide was receding there were many pools of water formed at the sandy-rocky part.








Some sea gulls hunting for fishes in these pools. They probably found something; my luck was bad couldn't find anything in the water to click.




Be careful of the rocks though. Some of these rocks have Barnacles growing on them. The shells that they create on the rocks are extremely sharp and would cut your skin like a blade.

Near the rocky-sandy part, towards the land you will find some old ruins. These are part of the Nawab's Palace area (or rather used to be part of). Some are obviously houses (probably for servants) while many other structures are not so clear. They should be at least be a couple of hundred years old.
The following one could possibly be a stable.






Some more images of life near the sea:

A word of caution: A major area of the rocky part gets submerged during high tide. So if you plan to go there be sure to know the time of tides (or if you can guess by looking at the sea). Visit it when the tide is receding else you could be fatally trapped between the cliffs and the sea.
