Have been here a couple of weeks. Drove around te Corniche, but couldn't find access to a proper sandy public beach.

 

Can anyone please advise on where to go (which area of Doha) ?

Dukhan is about 100 km (correct me if I'm wrong) from Doha...take the new road, it's unter construction but already good and ver smooth, much better than the old one. You go to education city and then just follow the signs to Dukhan.

The water is nice, but I did not find the white sand I was dreaming of, many many shells and not very fine sand - maybe I was at the wrong spot?

Beach beside intercontinental hotel is good. Try it.

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

Al-khor 1 is fine.

You will find crabs swimming with you. Having size of 2 adult hands.

Small fishes passing and touching your legs.

Some hotels have beaches. Otherwise, like DaRuDe said, you gotta drive. Get a Marhaba book. Descriptions of all the beaches and directions.
