The World’s 40 Best Beaches
39. Saadiyat Beach | United Arab Emirates
Saadiyat gives Abu Dhabi an open coastal face: a long pale shore and turquoise water close to the city’s cultural and urban life. It is also a nesting environment for hawksbill turtles, so the beach is more than a leisure setting. That overlap makes responsible access essential. Keep to local guidance around protected areas and let wildlife habitat remain part of the landscape, rather than a detail to overlook.
