Hello, Local Guides,
Some weeks ago, I posted a Travel Post Challenge on Connect, So Today I want to share about the Gem Of Pakistan in the #Gemsoftheworld #ConnectTravelChallenge
The basic idea was to show the beautiful and extraordinary places of our countries which always make us proud to have them.
Fishermen Floating Jetty/ Tilismati Beach Balochistan Pakistan :
In 2021 on my birthday, we had a wonderful Beach Cleaning Meet-up as a part of @ermest 's Local Guides Clean The World project.
at a newly found beach for us, namely “Fishermen Floating Jetty Beach” or “Tilsimati Beach” situated in the most amazing province of Pakistan called Balochistan.
A couple of weeks before, Local Guides from Karachi visited the same place to explore more places near Fishermen Floating Jetty Beach.
But before starting our wonderful travel story, let me share some information about the Coastal Belt of Pakistan.
The total Coastline of Pakistan is about 1120 Km. The western region (Makran coast) lengthens from the Hub river to the Iranian border. Makran coast is about 772 Km long. The South Eastern Region (Sindh coast) extends from Hub River to Sir Creek on the Indian border and is about 348 Km long.
(Facts and figures from the internet )
The Fishermen Floating Jetty Beach is located near Allana Village District Hub Balochistan, and it’s approx 50 Kilometers from District Central of Karachi.
We started our journey from Hussainabad food street and through Liyari Expressway we reached near Hub River Road, and then non-stop to Fishermen floating Jetty Beach.
This time the first thing we noted was that it was the calmest beach we ever visited in Pakistan, and there was not too much pollution as we can see other busy tourist attractions, mostly beaches in Pakistan.
The Fishermen floating jetty on Beach was built and inaugurated two years ago to facilitate fishermen, who felt difficulties to pick and drop their stuff such as fish from the sea, gasoline for the boats, and other things in the past.
The best thing about this beach is the clean water and millions of shells at the beach. Also one of the special things about this place is that there are beautiful stones & rocks on the beach which makes the water more clear which comes by the waves.
If you are visiting Fishermen Floating Jetty Beach, you can hire a boat at a very nominal fare, approx 1000 Pakistani Rupees (6$ USD) for an hour or more to visit the sea or fishing near Shore.
But this beach still has no facilities for public washrooms or Huts/Resorts there because usually this beach is used by fishermen and as I mentioned above it’s not very popular in the general public, or we can say it’s still safe from pollution because it’s still hidden from the eyes of the careless tourists and people.
Unfortunately, this beach is not Accessible for wheelchairs and people with different abilities, more you can read in my Google Maps review about Fishermen Floating Jetty Beach.
But there are no Parking fees or entry fees, you have to pay toll tax once when you cross the border from Sindh to Balochistan.
This beach is still safe from too many visitors and tourists, but of course, the tour here is everyone’s right, But we should consider it our own. That this is our sea, this is our own marine life, this is our beach. If we consider this beach as our own and keep it clean, it also protects oceanic life and the seawater will look clean. And we will always have a pleasant feeling whenever we visit here.
Let’s protect our oceans and beaches from plastic pollution.
