Beautiful sandy beach in Abu Dhabi Corniche
I just visited last Friday the Abu Dhabi Corniche and I was amazed to see the improvements. My last visit was more than a year ago. That time, there were many ongoing constructions in the Corniche Area.
Now, the place is totally converted into a recreation venue where people can enjoy various activities. There is no wonder that it is swarmed everyday particularly on weekends with people from all walks of life.
Abu Dhabi Corniche has a beautiful white sandy beach which is stretched along the Corniche area but segmented into small portions with different entrance gate. The entrance fee is AED 10 (approx $3). Try to keep the ticket stab so you can access all the beach sections without paying again the entrance fee.
A pair of sun bed in the front row costs AED 55 (approx $15) and the rest of the rows is AED 35 (approx $10). According to the beach attendant, the throng of beach goers starts to arrive at 10 o’clock in the morning on weekends (Friday & Saturday) and at 12 noon on weekdays.
While strolling, it is inevitable to notice a great number of health buffs loitering in Abu Dhabi Corniche. Its paved pathways make it an ideal place to walk or cycle. Also, bikes for kids and adults are available for rent.
These available recreation facilities are complemented with great a range of restaurants and coffee shops with outdoor dining area. In fact, this is what I like most in Abu Dhabi Corniche.
Last Friday we arrived at past eight in the morning and the weather was really pleasant. Then we decided to stop in Seattle’s Best for coffee and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach. The shop attendant offered us to try their combo breakfast for AED 15 (approx $4). It was a mug of coffee and a choice of sandwich (beef or turkey). I suggest you try the turkey because it tastes really good.
The beachfront coffee shop made us enjoy not only the delectable breakfast sandwich and coffee but also the scenic view of the beach.
Here are few photos to convince you that the Abu Dhabi Corniche is worth a visit.

Isn't it inspiring to see a family exercising together?

i’ve always loved the beach and been to the corniche many times but never got the opportunity to swim there.. all I do there is to have either coffee or hot choco in one of the al fresco coffee shops. But i must not omit my compliments, the beach and the environment shouts if F-U-N! cheers!

I visited the corniche beach november 26th 2010. It was the family beach.my son is quite fond of the water. My experience was that there was a silt like deposit on the sand in the water and the water itself was cloudy. After the tremendous effort the Abu dhabi government put on the beautification of the beach, i was hoping for a perfect beach experience. I did visit a couple months earlier and my experience was the same. Unfor
