Saadiyat Beach
Saadiyat Public Beach
Some nine kilometres of white-sand beach on Saadiyat Island, with clear waters and occasional sightings of hawksbill turtles coming ashore to nest.
The north shore of Saadiyat Island has what is widely considered Abu Dhabi's most beautiful beach, with fine white sand, turquoise water and protected dunes behind. Between April and July is the hawksbill turtle nesting season. Visitors can go to Saadiyat Public Beach, which charges a small entry fee and offers changing rooms, showers and lifeguards, or pay to use the beaches at hotels and beach clubs along the coast. It is on the same island as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, so you can plan half a day of art and half a day on the beach. Dress modestly, and do not wear swimwear outside the beach area.
