Paramotoring in Bekal offers the perfect opportunity to witness the coastline from an entirely different viewpoint. As the paramotor takes off, the vast Bekal Beach, the Arabian Sea, and the magnificent fort gradually come into view under your feet. The flight is very steady and gentle, and it gives you the impression of floating rather than flying which makes it very appropriate for first timers who want an aerial adventure without extreme thrills.
