Masood pristine beach is not accessible directly but its sight is beautiful and unique. After a short drive from Mughsail Blowholes on Sultan Qaboos Street, you will reach a viewing point. Although there are a couple of viewpoints for Masood Beach, the first one offers the best view.

The viewpoint, located at an altitude, offers a mesmerizing aerial view of the beach and surrounding cliffs, providing a perfect photo opportunity.
