New Public Beach

The new public beach in Abu Dhabi is to be ready on July 1st this year according to a report in the Gulf News this morning. Located on the corniche, the announcement was made yesterday as part of the Abu Dhabi Municipality strategic plan.

The beach is to be manned by qualified lifeguards who will be housed in 7 towers stretched across the 2 km beach. In addition, there will be a floating fence installed to ensure the safety of swimmers. Although the facility will be open 24/7, the lifeguards will only be on duty during the day time and swimming will be prohibited at night.

In addition to the beach, there will be a spacious park, playgrounds for children, a beach volleyball court, shaded areas, an exercise path and cafe facilities. Entry will be free and it is estimated that it will accommodate about 5,000 people. The project comes at a price of Dh105 million.
