That despite being an island, Bahrain has almost NO BEACHES. There is only one real public free beach and it's filthy and frequented by creepy guys and teenagers. All the good beaches are property of the Royal Family, located on military bases, or 5-star hotels. You can only visit the hotel beaches if you are a guest or pay US$5,000 or more per year for beach club membership. I wish I had known that I could have curtailed before arriving with little to no consequence. - Aug 2014
