Abu Dhabi’s night beach has expanded to double its length
The soaring temperatures end up keeping beach fans at bay during the summer months, but thankfully Marsana East Beach on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi, remains open at night for people to enjoy a swim under the stars. And it has proven very popular, and in order to keep up with the public demand, the length of the beach has now doubled.
Since its opening at the beginning of July, the beach has witnessed an increasing number of visitors, not skipping the chance to enjoy the sea after sunset.
The beach’s initial length was around 140 metres, and it has now increased to 260 meters. That’s an addition of 120 metres added on. Along with the added length, there will also be an increase in the number of lifeguards, security personnel, and floodlights.
Visitors can choose to take a refreshing dip in the water, but if you prefer to stay dry, you can unwind and sit in the sand or relax on plush sun loungers dotted along the shoreline.
There will be complimentary towels and mini coolers stocked with chilled water also available.
