About The sun, the heat and the sea

The best time to visit is October to April (Visit Abu Dhabi). In summer, do the beaches and walks at dawn or after sunset, drink water constantly and keep to shade; swim at lifeguarded beaches such as the Corniche’s gated sections.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with The sun, the heat and the sea before you go.
