Masirah Island / Ras Al Jazirah
Ras Al Jazirah is a quieter, out-of-the-way spot on Masirah's northwest coast, described on regional listings as having a sandy-pebbly beach and flat, smooth water suited to freestyle and freeride riding, benefiting from the same Khareef-season wind that makes the island a kite destination.
