What's there

Corniche Beach offers soft sand, calm, shallow water suited to families, and facilities including showers, changing rooms and lifeguard supervision during operating hours — a rare genuinely public, well-kept beach within a capital city.

When to go

Weekday mornings are quietest; Thursday and Friday evenings, as the weekend begins, draw the biggest local crowds. In cooler months the beach is busy through the day; in summer, early morning and evening are more comfortable.
