There is a number of beautiful beaches in Socotra with white sands or pebbles. The shores extend for miles and miles; the longest sandy continuous beach (over 20km) is located on the northern coast, in Ghubbah, and provides the main nesting site for loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta. Another well known long sandy beach is located on the southern coast of the island, neighboring with the wonderful sight of the sand dunes. Cobble beaches occur along parts of the Noged plain on the southern coast and on the northern coast near Hadibo, in Ras Qadama, Qadheb and Rosh.
