Clifton Beach or Seaview is a beach in Karachi, Pakistan located on the Arabian Sea. It is one of the neighborhoods of Clifton, Saddar Town. It was the world's most popular silver-sand beach and health resort during 20th century[citation needed] but in 2003 it was affected by an oil spill.[1] The beach has attractions for families and tourists, including beachside horse and camel rides, amusement parks, restaurants, and swimming in the Arabian Sea.

Another attraction in this area is the recently constructed Cineplex cinema for the people who reside in DHA and Clifton.[citation needed] Hollywood films are mostly screened here along with some selected Bollywood films. The cinemas are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and other entertainment sections.[citation needed]

The Defence Housing Authority is fighting erosion by badding more sand, which may change the shape and features of the beach.[citation needed]

Other beaches close to the city include Sandspit, Hawke's Bay, and Paradise Point (a sandstone rock promontory with a natural arch), but Clifton Beach is the most popular picnic destination in Karachi.[citation needed]
