Chabahar is Iran's only oceanic port — on the Gulf of Oman in remote Sistan-Baluchistan — and the country's surf capital. Its draw is otherworldly nature: the eroded 'Martian Mountains', the pink Lipar lagoon, and Darak beach where Lut-like dunes meet the sea, plus mangroves and warm ocean year-round. A free-trade zone with a distinct Baluchi culture, cuisine and crafts, it rewards travellers willing to make the long journey south.
