This is a great spot to see a huge variety of shorebirds. It's always tricky to gauge the tide and it seems to rise & fall quite fast but even when the tide is fully out you can still scope Crab-Plovers. it was here the 1st Grey-tailed Tattler for Oman was discovered in 2023, so be prepared for anything. The recent discovery of a very small population of Collared Kingfishers of the local Kalbaensis race is really exciting for this site and you may be lucky to connect with Indian White-eye in the mangroves. Both species are best shortly after sunrise here.
