A rocky island with coral, turtles and fish.
Address: Al Aqah Beach, Fujairah
Snoopy Island gets its name from its shape, which looks like the cartoon dog lying on his kennel when seen from the beach. It sits a short distance off Al Aqah beach on the Gulf of Oman coast.
The rocks and coral around the island attract reef fish, rays and sea turtles, and the calmer, clearer water of the east coast makes it a favourite snorkelling and diving spot.
April to June and September to November for warm, clear water.
Morning, when the sea is calmest.
Plankton blooms can reduce visibility at times.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Check prices and availability for your dates.
Strong swimmers often swim from the beach, but a boat or guided tour is safer.
Turtles are often seen around the island, especially in the morning.
About 2 hours by car.
