"What's wrong with parks, malls and driving away from Doha? Actually if you chose not to spend much money in these places, it is easy to do it (for people with limited income)(I agree they don't have much nice free beaches in Doha)"
----> after 6 yrs here, those places just getting tedious. Been to nearly every corner of Qatar. And everything just sand and sand. Palm tree island one of my favourite place to take the kids. The beach there a bit rocky, but still better than nothing. There used to be a public beach next to Oasis, and now the build another hotel there (Sharq). Beach in Al Wakra not that good ... the only decent beach is inland sea which is quite long drive from Doha.
