Although all beaches in Oman are public, many of the big hotels have attractive beachside facilities (pools, restaurants, gardens) open to non-guests for a fee. Women may feel more comfortable swimming in this environment than in the sea at public beaches. All beaches in Muscat are ‘public’, so there’s nothing to stop a keen walker starting at Qurm Nature Reserve and walking all the way to Seeb, a distance of some 20km or so.
