Paradise Point, Pakistan

The Paradise Point is a beach on the Arabian Sea and a reservation of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission located in Karachi District, Sindh, Pakistan. Paradise Point is a sandstone rock promontory which once had a natural arch.

Due to the security concerns and vulnerability relating to the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant at the Paradise Point, the beach was closed for tourism when the Ministry of Energy acquired the reservation on behalf of the federal government of Pakistan in 2017.

Before 2017, the Paradise Point was a main point of attraction for the tourists, which offered the beachside horse and camel rides, amusement parks, restaurants, and swimming in the Arabian Sea. The Paradise Point Beach is accessible through the Hawkes Bay Road or the Mubarak Goth Road from downtown of Karachi. To its west, the Nathiagali Beach is located.

Other beaches close to the city include Sandspit Beach, Hawke's Bay, and Clifton Beach.
