Not really too much to do here, as it's an island off the coast of Oman. Many rocks and camels, but some pretty nice beaches. This depends on what you are looking for. It is a windsurfing, geologist, and Landrover Paradise.
It is a very nice place for camping and coast fishing and diving. you can play any sea sport and the weather is very good compared to other gulf costs. the most important thing don't rely on shops for sports equipment. Most everyday requisites are avaliable.
To get to Masirah Island. You do need a four wheel drive to explore the deep sandy isalnd. With new tarmac roads now alsmost circumnavigating the island, even that is not needed anymore. You can camp anywhere, but there is one inexpensive hotel in town and a big 5 star one almost finished being built. The 5 star is 13 min. out of town and if arriving at night get clear directions. The Ferry is wonderful and regular.A ferry leaves either when it is full or the one from the other side arrives.
