Saadiyat Beach

The beach of Saadiyat Island, formerly a free "public" beach, has operated since 2024 as a managed beach club called Kai Beach — it's the same stretch of coast, just now paid and fully developed. The beach stretches roughly 500 meters along the sea; it's sandy and very clean, and both adults and children will feel comfortable here.
The beach is equipped with everything you need: a sun lounger is included in the entry price, there are showers and toilets, lockers, and free parking near the beach. Outside food and drinks are not allowed — there are cafes on site.
Admission costs approximately 75 AED (about $20) for adults and 35 AED for children aged 6–12 on weekdays; on weekends and public holidays it's 95 AED for adults and 60 AED for children. Children under 6 enter free. The beach is open from 7:00 am until sunset.

The advantages of the beach include the beautiful blue color of the water, fine pearl-colored sand, high-class service, and, an unexpected bonus, the rare sea turtles that lay their eggs here.
