Close to the beach, there's a gated community called Seaview Apartments. This area is very near the section of Clifton Beach often called Seaview beach. A little further away, you'll find Darakhshan Villas, which has many lovely townhouses.
Fun Entertainment Nearby
For movie lovers, new CINEPLEX cinemas have been built very close to Clifton Beach. These cinemas are a big deal because for a long time, there weren't many modern movie theaters in Karachi. Now, people, especially those living in the nearby areas of DHA and Clifton, can enjoy the latest films.
These cinemas often show Hollywood movies at the same time, or very soon after, they are released around the world. They are a bit more expensive than older cinemas and are known as "family cinemas." This means that groups of just males are usually not allowed to watch movies unless they are with family members, females, or children.
Changes to the Beach
The Defense Housing Authority, which manages the area, is actually adding sand to the beach. This project is making the beach wider and pushing it further out into the sea. This will change how the beach looks and feels over time.
Other Cool Beaches
While Clifton Beach is the most popular picnic spot in Karachi, there are other cool beaches nearby. These include Sandspit, Hawke's Bay, and Paradise Point. Paradise Point is special because it has a natural arch made of sandstone rock, which is really neat to see!
