23 September, 2026
A new watersports spot has arrived. Starting Wednesday, September 23, The Canal will welcome watersports fans looking for a new place to get out on the water
Explore The Canal by kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or pedalo and enjoy a relaxing ride or a little adventure at the same rates available at South Beach. There’s something for everyone.
Parking and Access: The Canal will soon have its own dedicated parking area, making access even easier. In the meantime, you can park in the nearby mosque parking area and enjoy a short walk to the beach. Please follow the designated access route and stay clear of all construction and restricted areas along the way.
Entry: No registration required. Available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Questions? Call 012 808 6634 or 012 808 6621, or email marinebookings@kaust.edu.sa.
The Canal is currently dedicated exclusively to watersports, not swimming. Choose your ride and take to the water.
See you at The Canal!
