Archer beach
Located on the far eastern side of Socotra Island, the land extends into the sea, forming a long, slender strip. At the base of the uniquely curved cape lies Archer Beach. From a distance, Archer may resemble a cluster of salt due to its pristine, snow-white sand. Viewed from space, the beach appears as an unexplored white spot, still untouched by the vast world of tourism.

Beach description
Stretching over six kilometers, Archer Beach is a breathtaking destination for those seeking sun, sand, and sea. A meandering road runs parallel to the shoreline, occasionally fading into mere tracks in the sand. The beach's expanse varies, at points extending nearly a kilometer inland - though visitors are advised to stay closer to the lapping waves. Dramatic vertical dark brown cliffs define the beach's boundary, standing out so starkly that at times, not a single rock or piece of shingle interrupts their line where they meet the sand.
The sea's embrace is gentle here, with the waters deepening gradually as one ventures further from the shore. Beyond the coastline, clusters of corals and solitary rocks create underwater landscapes of intrigue. Yet, there are ample stretches where one can wade and swim over sandy seabeds. Even fifty meters from the shore, the water seldom rises above an adult's height, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for swimmers of all levels.
