Al Qurm Beach is located on the coast east of the city of Muscat. You can overlook the area from the high beachroad. This busy road along the beach has a wide sidewalk on both sides. On the lagoon side it is slightly wider and you can have a good view of the wadi's from the sidewalk, the parkings and the restaurants. On the beach side there are some lookout posts on the sidewalk where you have a perfect view of the whole beach. There are plenty of parking spaces on both sides of the road. The best places for birdwatching are the two places where the wadi flows under the road to the sea. Click on a P in the map for directions or coordinates to a parking spot.
