Place is to visit. but public is very crazy and do the crazy stuff like creating dirt and spread dirtiness. people of this area should keep the area clean and also government should put dome sort of cleaning service in this area. The sea water is as like SEA VIEW water. the water is literlly not clean and is blackish. which defintly mean severage water is mixed with it. the shore is also not good for family, people do mischief with couple. sorry i mean to say no good for couple. its safe for family. And in this covid19 i wont recommend you to visit this place.

Very beautiful place for tourists, also good for international trade.

The Port of Karachi is one of South Asias largest and busiest deep-water seaports, handling about 60% of the nations cargo located in Karachi, Pakistan. It is located between the Karachi towns of Kiamari and Saddar, close to the main business district and several industrial areas.

The Port of Karachi (Urdu: کراچی بندرگاہ‎ Bandar gāh Karāchī) is one of South Asias largest and busiest deep-water seaports, handling about 60% of the nations cargo (25 million tons per annum) located in Karachi, Pakistan. It is located between the Karachi towns of Kiamari and Saddar, close to the main business district and several industrial areas. The geographic position of the port places it in close proximity to major shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. The administration of the port is carried out by the Karachi Port Trust, which was established in the nineteenth century.The history of the port is intertwined with that of the city of Karachi. Several ancient ports have been attributed in the area including Krokola, Morontobara (Womans Harbour) (mentioned by Nearchus),[2] Barbarikon (the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea,[3] and Debal (a city captured by the Arab general Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 CE). There is a reference to the early existence of the port of Karachi in the Umdah, by the Arab navigator Sulaiman al Mahri (AD 1511), who mentions Ras al Karazi and Ras Karashi while describing a route along the coast from Pasni to Ras Karashi. Karachi is also mentioned in the sixteenth century Turkish treatise Mirât ül Memâlik (Mirror of Countries, 1557) by the Ottoman captain Seydi Ali Reis, which is a compilation of sailing directions from the Portuguese island of Diu to Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. It warns sailors about whirlpools and advises them to seek safety in Kaurashi harbour if they found themselves drifting dangerously. There is a legend of a prosperous coastal town called Kharak in the estuary of the Hub River (west of modern Karachi) in the late 17th and early eighteenth century.In 1728 heavy rains silted up the harbour and resulted in the merchants of Kharak relocating to the area of modern Karachi. In 1729, they built a new fortified town called Kolachi (also known as Kalachi-jo-Kun and Kolachi-jo-Goth) on high ground north of Karachi bay, surrounded by a 16-foot (5 m) high mud and timber-reinforced wall with gun-mounted turrets and two gates. The gate facing the sea was called Kharadar (salt gate), and the gate facing the Lyari River was called Mithadar (sweet gate). The modern neighbourhoods around the location of the gates are called Mithadar and Kharadar. Surrounded by mangrove swamps to the east, the sea to the southwest, and the Layari river to the north, the town was well defended and engaged in a profitable trade with Muscat and Bahrain. From 1729 to 1783 the strategic location of Kolachi saw the town change hands several times between the Khans of Kalat and the rulers of Sind. In 1783, after two prolonged sieges the town fell to the Talpur Mirs of Sind, who constructed a fort mounted with cannons on Manora island at the harbour entrance.

Not everyone is allowed to visit karachi port but Ive been there and its an attractive place.

Karachi Port Trust (Urdu: کراچی پورٹ ٹرسٹ‎) (KPT) is a Pakistani federal government agency under the administrative control of the Secretary to the Government of Pakistan for Maritime Affairs that oversees the operations of the Port of Karachi in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Between 1880 and 1887, the port was administered by the Karachi Harbour Board.[1] The Karachi Port Trust was then established by the Act IV of 1886, effective from 1 April 1887.[2] The agency is headquartered at the colonial-era Karachi Port Trust Building from 1916.

The geographic position of the port places it in close proximity to major shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. The administration of the port is carried out by the Karachi Port Trust, which was established in the nineteenth century.The prominence of the port attracted the British, who opened a factory in Karachi at the end of the eighteenth century but disagreements with the Mirs on trade tariffs led to the closure of the factory. The British were concerned about Russian expansion towards the Arabian Sea, so in 1839 they occupied Karachi and later the whole of the Sindh. The port served as a landing point for troops during the First Afghan War. The river Indus was an important artery of communication between Karachi and Jhirk Near Kotri Sindh, was an important river port. The Indus flotilla used large quantities of firewood and it was kept to fuel steamboats. A number of British companies opened offices and warehouses in Karachi and the population increased rapidly. By 1852, Karachi was an established city with a population of 14,000 and a prosperous overseas trade. The modern port began to take shape in 1854, when the main navigation channel was dredged and a mole or causeway was constructed to link the main harbour with the rest of the city. This was followed by construction of Manora breakwater, Keamari Groyne, the Napier Mole Bridge and the Native Jetty Bridge. The construction of the wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharf and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf were complete while 1927 and 1944, the West Wharf, the lighterage berths and the ship-repair berths were constructed between 1927 and 1944.

Nice port and biggest port in Pakistan

It was beautiful. A new place for people of Karachi to hang out. But seriously you cant go till end as its pretty difficult for people to walk on those huge blocks. Though you can just enjoy the view of oyster rocks in front of it. And also the sea breeze will make you feel good. Though its not a picnic point. People who are going there and littering the place must stopped immediately. Otherwise it will completely look like a trash point and harm the sea animals. #letsguide

Kemari is located at the far end of District South, Karachi. A large number of private launches are available here either to go to Manora or to the deep sea. Private launches are available (after a little bit of negotiation) upto 100 Rs/Head. Public launches usually charge 50 Rs/ Head for Manora. Pakistan Naval Academy is located in Manora. The coastal line of Manora is far better than clifton in terms of cleaniliness.
