The beach at Cape Monze, or Cape Mount as it is famously called. Seemed like the best spot to go to provide our children an outlet for their energy. Cape Mount Beach Karachi, in particular, due to its unique setting and excursion value.
Many people from all over the world with friends and family visit this beautiful seaside. Glimpses of its beauty are yet etched in my mind. From the highland, where the people are used to parking, looking down at the long stretch of the pristine beach is very unworldly. And then descending the untouched seashore through mountain rifts adds a thrill to this spectacular experience.
To neglect the scorching heat-wave in summer, people usually leave home early in the morning – so early that when people hit the road, both the moazzin and the rooster are used to calling for pre-dawn prayers. At that time of the day, roads look wider and saner, making it a pleasant and comfortable drive, a luxury that isn’t so common around Karachi. It is also soothingly quiet, with just birds humming and singing throughout the one-hour or so journey.
Cape Mount Beach Karachi is a headland at the end of the triangular peninsula, stretching out of Karachi’s mainland and juts into the Arabian Sea. The cape mount is formed because of the convergence of a low-lying mountain range with the sea. Logistically, it is the farthest one can go westwards while remaining in the city’s precinct. In case to get there, one has to bypass a string of beaches situated at the base of a similar triangle. Sands Pit, Hawks Bay, French Beach, Paradise Point, and the like. Continue until the road ends. Because of its remoteness and unavailability of facilities like beach huts, the place is unspoiled and less crowded.
