Are you looking for halal beaches to relax and unwind? Don't worry, We've got you covered so you can plan conveniently for your next Halal beach vacation!
Most people won't think that the words "halal" and "beach" can fit in the same sentence, especially when beaches are often associated with visitors in skimpy clothing. In this article, we will explore some of the best Halal beaches in the world that you can enjoy with a peace of mind.
A Halal beach can consist of one or more of the following criteria: Halal food, gender-only beaches, covered restroom facilities, prayer rooms, and other Muslim-friendly facilities. In order to accommodate the Halal-conscious community, most Halal beaches are private or semi-private.
Some places may impose a conservative dress code where burkinis are preferred over bikinis.
