The beauty of Kuwait

There are things about Kuwait that are'nt beautiful, but one thing I can say about it is this: They have done the coast line right. 
In a lot of coastal cities (think Cancun, Mexico), the coast line is miles and miles of big hotels, with private beaches and very limited public access; that is not so in Kuwait. Sure, they have their share of big hotels,but none that I can see are up against the beach.  For the most part, the coast is lined with a lovely promenade for walking, jogging or simply relaxing. 
There is often direct access to the beach. The parking lots are interspersed periodically along the causeway--and the parking is free. It is a really great set up, and very user friendly. Granted--its too hot now to enjoy it, but in a few short weeks, that is where I will be spending a lot of my free time. 

Photo taken from my car, the palm trees are lining the ocean promenade.


The promenade. Off in the distance is Kuwait City. The promenade goes all the way to the buildings off in the distance and just as far in the other direction.



The other direction away from Kuwait city, the promenade goes as far as the eye can see. 

The parking area. 0cean/Promenade to the right, city to the left.
