The wide strip of soft white sand here is Abu Dhabi's new beach destination. Opened to the public in 2018, this beach is the first phase of Hudayriat Island's redevelopment as a residential and leisure district. The lifeguard-patrolled beach has playgrounds for the kids, a nice paved promenade area and food trucks open on the weekends.
