Dolok Oan, also known as Cristo Rei Back Beach, is a scenic coastal spot located behind the iconic Cristo Rei statue in Dili, East Timor, popular for its clear waters and relaxed atmosphere. Accessibility generally involves walking down steps from the Cristo Rei statue parking area or direct vehicle access to parts of the beach, so those with mobility challenges might find it difficult. Visitors can easily enjoy a solo visit, though it's often included in guided tours of Dili's highlights. While generally open year-round, the dry season (May-November) offers the best weather for beach activities, with no strict seasonal restrictions. Access to the beach is typically free, with costs primarily for transportation, snacks, or optional equipment rental (e.g., snorkeling gear). A typical visit lasts between 1 to 3 hours, allowing time for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing by the sea, often combined with a visit to the Cristo Rei statue itself. The beach can get busy, especially on weekends, and provides a pleasant escape with picturesque views.
