Karachi is largest city of Pakistan . A hustling , bustling metropolis of the 1960s , 70s and 80s .........with its financial district across Saddar and MA Jinnah Rd , Karachi University campus around the western tip and beautiful Arabian Sea coastal strip situated at the southern part of town . Clifton Beach is a beautiful serene place with gray waves , shiny sandy beach located in one of the most upscale neighborhood of the city . Clifton is a word derived from English language which means " city by the cliff" .One can see colorfully decorated camels and camel walas , teenagers dressed up in denims enjoying an evening walk , kids collecting sea shells and also burqa clad ladies enjoying the beautiful sunset at sea. City of Karachi has been badly affected by secretarial violence in the last two decades but still today Clifton Beach and other beaches in town are the place for relaxation for the people especially on weekends . They arrive in suzuki vans , shiny cars or rickshaws to spend few hours of walk on the beach or eat the spicy corn and cotton candy sold by " thela walas" .
In the last decade many new restaurants like the Village have been constructed serving delicious Pakistani cuisine . In one corner lies the fast food chain Macdonalds . Dolmen Mall a high rise mall has been constructed few years back near the beach . Across from the beach some new car dealerships , designer stores and restaurants are located. The new Cineplex movie theatre near the Clifton Beach is always filled with people showing Hollywood and Bollywood blockbusters . Sea view and Darakhahah Apartments are located across from the beach . The prestigious Karachi Grammar School opened its new campus in this area few years back . Many upscale country clubs like Golf Club, Marina Club are also located in this area.
