Marsana East Beach on Hudayriyat Island has launched something new for summer: night swimming. For the first time in Abu Dhabi, beachgoers can take a swim after sunset, with the beach staying open into the night until the end of September.

Equipped with floodlights and lifeguards, the setup allows safe swimming after dark. Comfortable sunbeds and a relaxed atmosphere make it a good option for evening downtime, whether you’re cooling off solo or heading out with friends and family.

 

The beach remains popular during the day for its sea views and walkable dining spots. At night, it brings a new energy. There will also be themed dining offers, family-friendly activities, and seasonal discounts.

You can choose from eight cafés and restaurants offering a range of food and drinks, including gelato, grilled cheese sandwiches, and Italian favourites.
