Westbay, you pay. Wakrah, Ummsaid, Sealine, Al Khor are not in Doha. None of those beaches have services anyways.
Im glad to hear there are plans for public beaches in the future, but frankly it should have already been done a long time ago.
My guess is that they dont really want people running around in the city with bikinis and whatnot on. It will be a controlled environment so as not to offend certain sensibilities. I can understand that. That is my guess. And in terms of tourism, Qatar is probably catering to families and rich individuals so hotel beaches are the way to go. Kind of a smart plan really, but it still sucks that I cant just go hang out at a beach for an hour when we are surrounded by all this gorgeous water!
