Visit Teben Beach as gateway to history, tranquility
Teben Beach is located in the southwest of Hormozgan Province, within Parsian. Just seven kilometers away lies the historic and culturally rich town of Kushk-e Nar.
Kushk-e Nar, anciently known as “Qasr-e Kenar,” once served as the seat of power for the Al-Harm tribe. Traces of this history remain evident in the local language, culture, and way of life of its people.
The residents speak Persian with the local Kushk-e Nar (Lari) dialect and are known for their characteristic southern Iranian hospitality, warmly welcoming travelers.
Before the Islamic Revolution, Teben Beach was a commercial port with a customs office. Today, its function has shifted, and it has been transformed into a fishing harbor.
Its pier shelters fishing boats and Lenjes (traditional wooden vessels), with the daily lives of the fishermen lending the place a vibrant, authentic atmosphere — a sight that is both captivating and tangible for visitors.
Just about 100 meters west of Teben Beach lies the sandy Badu Beach. Together, Teben and Badu present two distinct yet complementary faces of the region’s natural landscape.
These two beaches are separated by a hill approximately 50 meters high. Atop this hill stands a historic water reservoir dating back to the period of Portuguese presence and occupation. It stands as a silent testament to the influence of extra-regional powers in centuries past.
Teben Beach and its surroundings offer a rare blend of sea, mountains, valleys, and history — a significant potential for developing sustainable tourism in the south of the country. It is a destination still untouched by the crowds of mass tourism and can offer nature lovers, and those seeking tranquility and authenticity, a unique and memorable experience.
The city and district of Kushk-e Nar in Parsian represent the westernmost point of Hormozgan Province, neighboring South Pars and bordering Bushehr Province.
Parsian itself, with a population of over 50,000, is located 450 kilometers from the provincial capital and lies at the westernmost edge of Hormozgan.
The media event “Iran Jan” is currently underway in Hormozgan Province from January 24 to January 30.
These special programs, organized under the slogan “Hormozgan: Land of Sea-Based Opportunities,” focus on presenting the province’s diverse capacities, capabilities, and strengths in various fields through more extensive and artistic expression.
