Family Fun at Sea View Beach Karachi

One of the most popular and favorite attractions in Karachi is Sea View, which is loved by both locals and tourists. The truth is, Sea View gives a very relaxing vibe, just sitting there and watching the waves, some big and some small, makes the mind calm. I have seen many reels where tourists also share their experience here, and reviews are always mixed depending on personal choice.

Even though we live in Karachi, we don’t go to Sea View often because its far from our home in the middle of the city. But on my Father’s birthday this year, we had a great time. On 14th May, we rented a car and spent the whole day out. First, we went to an indoor play area where the kids had lots of fun (I already shared that post, click here to read on it). After that, we headed towards Sea View.

Honestly, I am not interested in going into the sea water. I don’t mind sitting on a chair at the beach for hours, but walking into the water? Sorry, not for me. My family, on the other hand, loves it. I don’t know what peace they find in it, but I just feel scared because the waves can suddenly get strong, and on top of that, the water near the shore doesn’t look clean to me.

Since childhood, I’ve been visiting Sea View, and every time it looks dirtier than before. People don’t care about cleanliness, they throw garbage around, and even horse and camel droppings are mixed everywhere. Honestly, I can’t stand it lol.

We reached Sea View in the evening, the perfect time. I was surprised to see that the place was again under construction. I don’t know what the government is planning to make there, but hopefully, it turns into something nice with proper cleanliness. Otherwise, there is always a lot to complain about. The area is huge, but the beach looked dusty and sandy, and the water was very far back. We had to walk a lot, so instead we hired a buggy ride that took us closer to the sea. We made a deal with the driver, we would not go into the water, just go near it and return. He agreed for 400 each ride, and we took two buggies.

It was a good ride. We got to see the sea up close without stepping into the water, and everyone enjoyed it. You can feel the happiness through the video I have shared here. In one shot, you can see a horse suddenly jumping in a funny way, which got captured by chance.

After the ride, we ate roasted corn (bhutta). Then a snake charmer sat nearby, playing his flute and showing off snake. Honestly, I don’t get it. Snakes cant even hear, so who are they playing the flute for? Its just their way of making money. Still, this is also a kind of “entertainment” you will see at Sea View. Many snake charmers walk around with dangerous snakes, which I personally find scary.

Right after that came an actor monkey show. The man made the monkey dance to drum beats and act in funny ways, and people were laughing. This too is part of the entertainment at Sea View. But I didn’t record it because I was already tired of seeing snakes and monkeys. The main reason is that, unlike horses and camels (which are domestic animals), snakes and monkeys are wild animals and belong in the jungle. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

The evening view and sunset at Sea View are really beautiful, but before the sun set completely, we left for our next destination. We had enjoyed enough and had a good time there.

So, that was our recent visit to Sea View. Hopefully, next time when I go, the construction will be finished, and I will get to see some positive changes. If that happens, I will definitely share it again.
