Amazing beach with facilities for you to relax and enjoy with your friends and family.

This beach is like far from city in saadiyat Island.Its not too much crowded and its paid entrance.If you go in the morning this looks so beautiful.The waves are moderate. I love to swim in this beach ⛱ 😍 as its very clean and less crowded.

The Saadiyat Public Beach, covering about 400 metres, is set on the Saadiyat Island’s natural shores. Beachgoers can enjoy a relaxed day outdoors with the white sandy shores and clear blue waters, as well as a multitude of water sports and activities. The beach boasts an ideal location, where it is situated at the centre of the city. Although theres an entry fee, it is worth it as the fantastic facilities and services ensure that visitors have a luxurious and enjoyable day at the beach.

Im only writing this review as this place was the best beach in abudhabi and thats my personal thought, hopefully it’ll be open soon

For anyone was asking about timing ,it’s closed since Covid began and it’s closed since everything open probably because soul beach opens back in Mamsha back in July ‘20 and to promote they most expensive public beach with worst service(75aed plus parking 20-40 aed) this place is closed ,I came check it many times but even residents who bought they villas and rent their apartments or townhouses nearby because of this beach imagine how they are disappointed now that they have no choise to go soul beach ?!Check my review on soul beach and be ready for worst service.That’s saadiyat public beach (not soul)my to go list if it’s ever opened back because that’s the last part of saadiyat beach I didn’t access-but there is amazing hotel near with completely same sea line

Very beautiful beach with amazing sunset. The Public beach needs better well maintained facilities. Other than that there was a lot of Jelly fish in the water which burns your skin. Water is clean but you need to be careful when you swim. Sandy beach is like maldives. Its a nice place if you are looking for a clean public beach with your family. But don’t forget to bring your own food and drinks because service is limited.

Clean bathrooms delightful snacks, most importantly, beautiful beach. A great spot to spend an afternoon. Great beach for a walk or run along the water. Not too crowded.

Probably one the most elegant, beautiful and cleanest public beachs in the world.The water is crystal clear with white sand just like Maldives and the Caribbean.Entrance is not expensive if you dont want the sun beds and umbrellas.A bit pricey sunbed and umbreall though(25Euros)pp!The showers and bathrooms are clean.There is a little Cafe selling fries, burgers, pizza, soft and hot drinks.(the beauty of the sea, parking, area (surrounded by lush gardens, golf course, ultra hip 5 stars hotels) I find the bar lack of beautiful imagination unfortunately.This part of Saadiyat Island is so so pretty.. If you dont live or visiting Abu Dhabi.. The drive worth every minute that will take you to this gorgeous are and beach.

Peaceful and calm! Theres an entrance fee and they charge for umbrella and the locker too. Its perhaps the entrance fee why this beach is less crowded and is thus clean. Loved the serenity here. You can shower before you leave which is a nice plus. Taxis are always available outside the premises so thats no problem. Swim, lay down, read, enjoy. Its a beautiful experience.

Considering its open water, makes it one of the most enjoyable beaches in the area. Occasionally dolphins were seen near the shore. Clean place but entrance fees must be paid as if it is a private not public beach. Car parkings are not enough specifically during weekends

The only one public beach in Abu Dhabi with open sea where you can see dolphins and swim in clear water. Best season is from November till May and sunsets here are magic!! Water in summer is hot but during winter goes around 23/24 degrees!!

One of the Best beach of Abu Dhabi in terms of Wavy water and underwater Sand. Its Paid but services and facilities can be improved further more. The Wooden walk way should be increased till beach as Walking on Sand, feel like stepping on the fire after 12pm. We encounters Dolphins in our todays Visit.

The perfect beach for the perfect swim. You can swim with safety and no worries. Kids can play in the sand, adults could sit on the deck chairs and relax. You can order a drink and enjoy the sunlight. Visit it, you wont regret it.

Saadiyat Public beach is closed until further notice!But its so beautiful place!

25drh entry (50drh if renting chaise lounge + allows to pley on sport facilities such as beach volleyball). Beach is long and has a nice bottom surface. Has showers, separate dressing rooms, toilets and a couple of caffees. Good enough to enjoy the sea

Often comes here during the weekends. Would be ideal to come here with a car as it quite from the city but stilk accessible by public bus for commuters. Visitors get to choose a premium access or regular pass. Only difference is premium get to use their beds, umbrellas and towels. Not a water sport friendly beach but you can play volleyball and etc. Water is clean but alot of beach of goers trash the place but the staffs tries to maintain the cleanliness. Open until the sunset and showers can get crowded during closing time. Love the place overall. Giving four star to give more room for improvement in terms of activities and facilities available.Sharing below some of dreamy pictures of the sky and ocean during my visit.

It was ok.i came here because of invitation. Since I live in Saadiyat I felt like its expensive 35aed for the entrance fee alone not including the bench.

Just amazing! Went there in August and the beach was empty ! Just about 20 guys at the whole beachClear blue water, very clean und friendlyPrices are ok

This beach is wonderful. Big and spacious, the see is a blue infinite, the sand is fine, sunbads and umbrellas and SUN!🌞🌝🌊 simply love it. My preferred place in Abu Dhabi. It s a litle bit far from centre, that means around 20 minutes but the taxi is around 30-40 AidThe entrance it is 95 uaed/person with umbrella and sunbed included. You can pay it with card.Only from the kiosk can buy with cash: very good pizza for 55 aud, burgers, salad. In the front of the entrane you can hire electric bycicles.

Funny how I saw a bus saying Saadiyat free public beach. When I arrived there I paid around 35aed. Lol it wasnt free. Bus is every 1 hr interval i think.The feel of the sand was so nice. The cold water relaxed all my nervous muscles.I saw some training lifeguards along the way.The sunbeds are extra payment though.

I keep forgetting that I live five minutes from this beach and how amazing it is.Entrance fee for adults is 25 dirhams. I wish there were student discounts because together with the taxi ride to get here, costs can add up. If you arrive at 8:00 when the beach opens, you will have to wait a while to get your change.Umbrella rental is available for a fee. Ice cream and fast food options are by the entrance. Showers and restrooms are available too.

This is a public Beach located in the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. I would say its one of the best places in Abu Dhabi which you must visit. The beach is clean and less crowdy. Mostly accompanied by foreign tourists. It also has a lot of beach shacks so you can relax and unwind yourself for a long time.I went in the month of November and it was Saturday evening. They have separate washrooms and shower with all the facilities including servicemen and that is why they charge you AED25 as entry fees which is worth paying.

In terms of cleaning very good, well organised, the cost 35 for entry. 60 more if you want to get seat+ umbrella. There is more beaches in Abu Dhabi , but this white sand and and blue water.

Very few bathrooms, no water and little parking.. beach is great though.(Much improved now.. Pro Tip: go early to get parking, leave the beach 10-15 minutes before closing to use the changing room facilities uncrowded. ) If you want to have great beach experience, this is must visiting place.

Best beach in Abu Dhabi. 30 Dh entrance fee, 60 for umbrella is optional. The water is pictureperfect. There are a lot of people coming here but this beach is like 2 or more km long, so you can hide from the crowd. There is food available also, like Pizza, Hot Dog and Burgers. Best to go in the morning and stay all day here.

Clean bathrooms delightful snacks, most importantly, beautiful beach. A great spot to spend an afternoon. Great beach for a walk or run along the water. Not too crowded. (at least in this January Sunday)

That’s the only public beach that I like the most in Abu Dhabi. It’s well maintained and waves are quite natural, the only sad part is that it’s a little far from the city (about 20km) so cannot go as often as I want. The way to get there is to get a taxi (more convenient) or get a bus. The crowd is very decent and mostly surrounded by the foreigners living in the UAE.

One of the best beaches I have ever visited! White,clean sand and endless turquoise water. Beautiful. A must see if you are in Abu Dhabi!

Best beach in Abu Dhabi, weekends 35 aed. With sunbeds aed 75Showers, changing rooms, little shops, kioskNice long beach, waves in the afternoon, popular for locals, expats and tourists.Taxis waiting in front.

A beautiful beach, clean, entrance fee available for 1 day pass for basic or all inclusive. You can choose which one best for you or your family. Weve came here at the weekend. That was not too crowd in the weekend. For drinks and dine, it available nearby the beach ticket pass counter.

One of my most favorite public beaches in Abu Dhabi so far! It was quiet and the sand and water are beautiful. It costs 95 DHS for 1 adult with a chair and umbrella. Children under 5 are free. No outside chairs or umbrellas allowed 😊

This is NOT a FREE to enter public beach. You have to pay AED35 for entry ONLY. Sun loungers and umbrellas are of different rate. Its better to add some more bucks and stay in one of nice and I think affordable hotels nearby.

Must be a beautiful beach, but unfortunately still closed till summer.... 😏

Its a very nice beach, hot water and very clean, you realy enjoy it. I just think it should be open before the 08:00 because if you want to see the sunrise you can not enter and it should be a very beatifull sunrise. I recommend it.

Very beautiful sea, but the beach access is super expensive. Normal entry fee is 35 aed (not allowed personal parasols and chairs), if you would like to take a sunbed and umbrella it would cost 70 on weekday and 95 aed on weekends (minimum two is a must).

Nice public beach with great sea and fresh breeze. There is an entry fee (95 Dirham with sunbed and umbrella for the weekdays). If you want a towel you will be charged 20 Dirham and give 50 Dirham as a deposit. You can bring food and water inside.

Nice beach with wonderful views. But security stuff behavior is not good enough.

One of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the region.Clean well maintained not too crowded.Small entry fee but worth it.Too bad closes by 6

Not too busy, reasonable priced, gorgeous beach and calm despite plenty of people. Go there before 10am if you want a sunbed in the front row.

Possibly the best beach in the country. The beach is situated on the open sea, so the water is cool and clean. The sand reaches on for kms in either direction and is great for walking.Only downside is that it can get really busy, which creates a parking issue. As well, the 25 dirham entry fee is a bit high for a public beach.

Beautiful. Amazing turquoise water. Soft clean sand. Possibly the only natural place in the whole UAE.

This public beach is not necessarily public as you need to pay an admission fee and get to go to “Bake” beach. The weekend rate -especially- does not compensate for the sun lounger and the umbrella you get which really need to be at least cleaned (if not replaced with new ones)The good thing is actually the beach (white sand and turquoise water literally) But even the toilets are always extremely wet (floors and toilet bowls) and not necessarily smelling great. The food outlets are ok, at least you have where to fuel and if not another good thing is that you can bring your own food. My feelings are 50/50.

The most beautiful beach I have seen in the UAE. The beach and the water is very clean and clear. You feel like being in the Caribbean so its really amazing. You have to pay an entrance fee of 25 dhs or 50 with chair and umbrella. I think they could improve the sanitary facilities and showers, other than that TOP! Make sure to bring food and drinks otherwise there is a shop at the entrance and it is a walk reaching their so better come prepared :)

Very nice and clean beach with good facilities. Admission is on the high side but if you come often you can get a subscription

Nice beach, near Abu Dhabi city. You can spend nice hours to relax. In my opinion, try to avoid weak ends and public holidays.

Very clean, safe, great service from the staff members and it is just beautiful there

Absolutely stunning beach my wife and I checked out on a quick lay over! We want to come back and spend more time now

Very disappointing that such a place is now close to the public. It should be possible to access a public beach without passing through a hotel or paying for a beach club.

I love this beach - one of the best views on the open turquoise waters, but honestly, its not really great for kids. Its deep, there are no lifeguard (there is, but I allways dont see him) There is no kids playground and there are deep sands, so hard to walk with your kid on your hands. So if with kids, better to choose another one- Corniche or Al Hudariyat. If without kids - this one is the best.

Nice place to spend with your family at the beach.The entrance fee is 25,5 AED for adultsHave a pizzeria and Cofe and ice cream place inside.

Does anyone know what is the timing for Saadyat public beach? and how much the charges on weekends vs weekdays?

Acceptable price for quiet accommodations. Water has been wavy (1m) and warm in June, and cool and calm in September. Somewhat of a view of Abu Dhabi to the south. Water runs shallow for maybe 100m, then drops to darker (deeper) water.

The best beach in Abu Dhabi, for sure! If you like beaches with waves and no islands in front of them, this beach is for you!Also, it is accessible by bus #401 from the city.

The sea and beach is so clean. Sometimes the sea is so calm so that I can see everything inside. Love this place!!!

Nice clean beach, facilities are good as well as some food and refreshments available.

Saadiyat is One of the best beach in Abu Dhabi. Crystal clear water well maintained facilities and amazing view. Overall its a nice place to spend time or to plan a picnic incling beach stay swimming and having refreshing outdoor meals with family and friends. Its usually not too crowded and rental facilities of beach equipments are available.

Quiet, beautiful sand, clean water. 1 star less because of the weekend rates...not very public...

Good family beach with life guard support, well maintained and having an basic entry fee of 35AED.

Perfect beach, but lots of new hotels are under construction - would assume, that its getting more and more crowded soon.

Awesome moments at this beach.... Good temperature.....Atmosphere is So Cool And many jellyfish are seen here @ the beach Seashore ...... Good to have sun bath here......Entry fee is....... Adult 25 AED and children upto age 12 is 15 AED

Lovely place to be!We are staying at a hotel with direct access to the beach and its really nice. Soft sand albeit a couple of places with shells which you would expect on a beach.Our section was secured by lifeguards which is always good especially with so many children around!

Wonderful , long & clean Beach . Enjoyed staying a whole day . Shower & changing room are good

Its public beach but not free. AED 35 for entry

One of the cleanest beach in UAE with amazing shoreline..

Extremely great beach, with a Clear Water !

Beautiful beach.. Clear white sand.. Clean water.. Clean beach..

Clean beach, great location. The sand on the beach was great and you can go far out without getting very deep. There are active lifeguards on duty so it is safe for kids. There are clean showers and bathrooms. Also there is a restaurant on sight for pizza and burgers, but it would be great if they had more options. Their is an entrance fee but they provide beach chairs.

Extremely pleased about the most beautiful beach in Abu Dhabi😁😌

Gorgeous public beach. Small restaurant available. Beach chairs and water sports equipment can be rented.

Its the only open and natural beach of Abu Dhabi. The blue waters and rushing waves makes the visit memorable.

It was nice real beach with amazing waves which I like the most.

As of end of Sept, 2021 the beach is still closed.

Best & Worth Place To Visit In Abu Dhabi.

All service provide by the beach is amazing.I was alone and had a big gym didnt use the lockersBeach was safe and secure when it comes to security.Luckily wasnt so crowded, you get your spaceIts a must visit if your in Abu Dhabi

Loved it! Paid beach though but amazing waves and wind 🥰

Lovely beach...pristine blue with white sand and beautiful waters.A great day out on the beach with family and friends.Cons: No good place to catch lunch around. So do pack your picnic while planning the day out

One of my favorite beach, clean and not crowded. The water is sky blue as well. Dont get me wrong im from the Philippines and we have the most amazing beaches and this one is right on the spot.

Its Amazing in my view this s the best beach in abudhabhi

Great white sand beach, entry to beach cost around 9 USD for adults.

The best beach in Abu Dhabi. Open sea natural beach with continuous waves, but not too high. We love the sand, the facilities, the color of the waterThe only thing its that its expensive: USD10 per adult. If you rent a recliner and an umbrella then it goes to 20.Even so, the place gets quite popular and its difficult to find parking without having to walk 500 meters on weekends

Probably the best beach in Abu Dhabi. Very soft sand, quite a long part of sea with shallow water. The only downsize of the place is lack of infrastructure close to the beach. I have visited the place in February so the amount of people at the beach was low. I can however imagine the queues in front of toilets when the beach is fully crowded. Nevertheless place is worth to visit especially off-season.

A Beautiful Place very close the center of Abu Dhabi Take only ten minutes taxi You must go there!!

Awesome place. Great views. Nice experience.

The beach is one of the finest beaches in Abu Dhabi. There is an entrance fee to the beach which ranges from 35-75 AED per person for the day based upon if you only take access to the beach or other facilities namely lounger, umbrella and towel. So not a public beach.The beach opens at 8 AM so you cant catch sunrise :(There is a public bus that goes to the beach but with frequency of one every 2 hours which is another let down.

The beach itself is nice, clean, clear water, but not so baby friendly, no access for strollers and you cannot bring your own beach chairs due to management policy, Alternatively, you can rent beach chairs for 190 AED for 2. Also pack lots of patience with you as its not easy to find parking.

The beach is cleaner and serene as compared to other beaches. Entry fee AED25 +5% VAT for adults. Not allowed to take beach chairs, but beach Matt and usual food stuffs are allowed like chips drinks. The showers are good, better than at other beaches. Overall it is a good experience and another place to add to your bucket list. Cheers

The best beach in Abu Dhabi..

This is my favorite beach in Abu Dhabi even though it doesnt offer the full package. Being a public beach, drinks are not available. However, the beach is amazing, water is clear. There are sunbeds and umbrellas for a certain fee - was 75 dhs this summer.

Among the beaches I had been in the UAE, Saadiyat is one of the best. The place lets you unwind from the urban life, offering the plain view of the seemingly endless sea, without buildings or lands, unlike the other man-made beach resorts, which of course are also beautiful. Im not sure why there is an entrance fee for a public beach, but the shower rooms are well maintained. There are also small restaurants to dine in, and there are beach chairs and umbrella to rent. Besides that, there is nothing more exciting than to enjoy the whole day and swim in its beautiful white beach.

The beach really nice, suitable for families. You can either reserve seats and umbrella or you can simply lay over your towel and enjoy the ☀️.Parking is somehow impossible 😅 probably you will park way too far from the gates. Bathrooms, showers are available but is crowded most of the time you will have to wait.There is a small coffee shop to serve drinks and limited menu, though u can bring your own food with you.Overall it is nice

The beach its nice and clean but theres few pointsFees: its a bit expensive to enter the beach without chair/umbrella!.. Especially during the holiday.Entrance to the beach its long walk.. I think at least for saefty and health you can install umbrella to walk underneath it.. Or extended the pedestrian walk till the umbrella area.Please make sure the staff taking enough rest and they look so tanned.you should close the beach from 12-3 PM during the summer its not good for the health.

Very nice public beach. Entrance is 30 aed and kids free. Its a more of a known place including for the locals, security is available even the police passby, it has a good parking besides the roads. All the facilities inside are accessible

We have visited last Friday. Its simply beautiful & amazing . White sand , not too deep,specially safe for kids , bcoz you can go more towards sea , water level not too high. But waves are upto their natural height . We took our food/ drink items , the security usually dont stop you for that. Once you go there, will love that. Only too limitations , that you can cover if you reach early. 1- Parking slots are full during evening hours, try to reach early . 2- Open/ public showers are crowded during sunset/ closing hours .Better go to public showers before the lifeguards whistle / sunset.

Best natural beach in town but facilities half of the time not working. Renovation and upgrade shall be initiated and free access shall be given if you just stay on the sand without chair!

White sands and dangerous sharks in waters like notorious bull and tiger sharks. Wanted to go swimming and fishing but no time despite 21 days in the city.

Despite some wear and tear of the lounge chairs and umbrellas this is one of the best beaches in Abu Dhabi. The beach is huge and sea is open and clean.

Its beautiful, But close due to COVID. Shocked to see other hotels beaches are open besides in Sadiyat but public beach is close.

Fantastic blue beach over looking the gulf with High tides and Clean SandPaid entrance and also additional approx 80 Dhms for Sun Lounge and Hut/Umbrella.Not many eating options if you have food restrictions.Parking was tough during weekends.Shower facilities could be better and they they close very early in the evenings. Overall a clean beach with NO Music and very average shower facilities for the price.

The beach is amazing and open to the gulf. Not restrictions for swimming distance. The sand is nice..however the showrooms are not good, broken locks on some of them and no regular cleaning. The water in the shower is not pouring strongly enough (weak showers). Also little amount of showrooms and toilets that can get crowded in peak hours.
