Looking to cool off after dark? Abu Dhabi has opened its first night swimming beach at Marsana East Beach on Hudayriyat Island, giving residents and visitors a whole new way to enjoy the summer evenings.
Running daily from sunset to 10pm on weekdays and until midnight on weekends, the beach is floodlit and supervised by lifeguards, making it safe and relaxing for everyone, from solo swimmers to families with children.
Set against one of the capital’s most scenic waterfronts, the beach offers loungers for parents, safe zones for children, and a QR-code ordering system that delivers food and drinks directly to your beach spot from eight Marsana cafés and restaurants.
Beyond swimming, guests can look forward to family-friendly activities, themed events, and exclusive summer dining offers, turning Marsana into a vibrant evening destination.
This seasonal experience will run until the end of September. Entry prices range from Dhs 25 to Dhs 100 per person, except for children below 6 who can enter for free. On Mondays to Thursdays, children between the ages of 6 to 11 can enter for Dhs 25, while those above 12 will have to pay Dhs 50. On Fridays through Sundays and on holidays, children between 6 and 11 are charged Dhs 50, while those above 12 are charged Dhs 100.
